Ah, you are thinking of that verse in My Hometown. Or possibly American Skin?
No, I wasn't going with that. Probably more of a Hattie Carroll reference.
Well the city supplied a public defender
But the judge was mean John Brown
He came into the courthouse
And stared poor Johnny down
Said, "The evidence is clear
Gonna let the sentence son fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year
We'll call it even Johnny 99"
A sad tale, I think you'll agree.
What crime did Johnny commit?
We'll think up something later. The important thing is he's guilty.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
He came home too drunk
From mixing Tanqueray and wine
Got a gun
Killed a night clerk
Now they call him Johnny 99.
To be fair, he did have debts no honest man could pay. Now I aint saying that makes him an innocent man.
I am saying that Johnny gets a fair old airing live. Would it kill him to do My Father's House, just once??
Does he still do Nebraska? I like that won.
I have never seen him do it. Very, very rare. However, pretty much every night he will spontaneously grab some ugly little kid out of the crowd to join him for the chorus to Waiting on a Sunny Day, a song so dull and generic it could be played at a wedding.
Thankfully, and not by accident, I am usually so pissed by this point that it barely registers.
Good call. I like Atlantic City.
