Basically he says MK was taking a long time to authorise use of a DS song in his film.

So he got backstage in LA and got MK to sign the contract there...

Well, those guys are basketball players, so "a 6foot driver" may seem like a garden gnome to them ;-)

Sounds like a dick move to shove a contract under his nose that way.

Not the first time I heard stories like that. Either it is too difficult to approach MK or people doing it don't know better. But the funniest thing MK always obliges, maybe in order not to multiply dickness in the universe.

The film came out in 2006 so presumably this happened after the ATRR show with Emmylou that was filmed.

There's currently a fantastic live Tony Joe White show from 1974 available on the BBC iPlayer.

He plays a blonde ES 330 throughout, presumably the one he gave MK.

GREAT player!

This track is available on youtube:

I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Me too I love every Ds era but if I had to choose one although it's almost impossible to me, I think I'll choose this one, then I remember how I love LoG and BiA tours and I regret ;D :smack

Lol, I'm definitely amateur, except in my professional life, which is amateurish, but in this case the youtube uploader is incorrect. :)
