Saw Valdy last week. The 79 year old was in good spirits, providing many funny stories between the songs he and crack guitarist Norm MacPherson played.
The best story was about how his 'Rock 'n' Roll Song' came about. I think it was '68 when Aldergrove Lake hosted a big ass rock 'n' roll festival. Jimi Hendrix played there for goodness sake. And Valdy - the hairy hippy folky fucker.
Valdy got himself boo'd loudly for being his folky self. Now, given the location of the festival, I think I can say safely say it was some boys from Surrey, no doubt resplendent in their tuxedos, who were doing the booing.
Assholes.
