Hep, her udfolder sig en vaskeægte midtvejskrise, heldigvis med en god portion ironi og sarkasme:
Lee Hazlewood - Forty
fra 1969 (værsgo' gurdet
)
Fra cover-noterne (med Hazlewoods egne ord):
I wanted to play such fantastic guitar as to make Chet Atkins and Jerry Reid feel insecure... but I've just been awarded a gold statue from the California Piano Makers Association with this inscription ... "This award is given to Mr. Lee Hazledwood (for the 9th consecutive year), for we belive his guitar playing has been a most deciding factor toward increased piano sales." "Keep on pickin' lee!".
Yes, I've learned to compromise; after FORTY years it's a way of life ... an art form...
I've always wanted my tombstone to read:
Lee Hazlewood - One of america's _________
But I suppose by the time I'm eighty, I'll have to settle for:
Lee Hazlewood - who???
Den knaser gevaldigt hist og her, men det skal en 40 års krise gøre, så pyt
Mange mange tak for den!
