Were the other three songs all from that album? What songs would that kind of fan know? "You're My Favorite Waste of Time"? No, that doesn't make sense, unless it was in a movie somewhere.

cover versions, which he always manages to make sound vaguely Buddy Holly-ish. Which is kinda great when the song in question is, say, Molly Hatchet's "Flirting With Disaster."

Well, there goes that great cover idea I had. :) "Flirting With Disaster" works amazingly well with a rockabilly or skiffle beat.

They might've sung along to "Mary Anne," but I was standing in back by then so I can't be sure. #4 would be "There She Goes Again," although a few of their number also sang along with "Dime a Dozen Guy." Just not the loudest.

twelve years pass...

Rick, I never answered your question from 12 years ago! Yes, I went and I loved it. Saw him last night with Los Straitjackets at the same place, too. Not as good, although the Straitjackets alone were fun as always. I think the Bottle Rockets are a more suitable backing band for Marshall.
Loved your Newport Folk Festival book, BTW.

five years pass...

He's touring again (though to be fair he plays often in NY). I've only heard him via 30 or 40 year old records, so I wasn't prepare to hear how much his voice has aged and thickened:

I may still go see him just because I never have.
