He played the 50th Watermelon Thump and went on about thirty minutes late of headlining Friday night because he demanded a bottle of whiskey before he'd go on stage. Thump directors scrambled and found a family friend who had a bottle at his house down the street. He chugged half the bottle and went on. True story, my aunt was the Thump director who had to deal with him.
I don't doubt this but I also don't doubt the whiskey was in his contract and Thump decided to ignore it.
We had him play and an event and he requested to handles of tequila in his contrcat. We got them and had no issues.
Yeah seems like more of an issue with the Thump Staff. How do you book musical acts for 20+years to your crappy county fair and then act surprised when said musician demands that the booze that was included in their contract. Hell, of all the terrible small town festivals you'd think the one in luling that had a famous song about getting hammered at their festival would be less uppity. After all, this is German and Mexican central Texas, not the dry county idiots from the panhandle.
No song about Luling that I'm aware of and I'm from here. Clearly you've never been to Thump, it's anything but uppity, and it's a four day binge drinking contest. As for the contract, that was over fifteen years ago, so I couldn't tell you if it was in there or not. They didn't make it sound like it was. He's been back to play multiple times, no one was upset about it. What song are you referring to?
