The local Blues Brother cover band absolutely understood the assignment. #vermont

@jessamyn

Back in, call it 1985 or so a friend of mine who called himself Digital (because he wore like 10 digital watches at a time) joined up with a guy who was also a Blues Brothers fan. They dressed the parts for at least five years after that, suits, hats, glasses and a briefcase with a harmonica in it handcuffed to Digital's wrist everywhere they went.

Digital was/is a virtuoso, he could master an instrument in days rather than years and he MASTERED that harmonica. He showed up at a John Lee Hooker show in the 80's at the old 9:30 in DC dressed for success and he started playing harp in the audience. JLH saw him and called him up on stage where he (maybe 19 years old) played most of the set with his band.

Dude founded The Checkered Cabs and Eastern Standard Time, both reasonably iconic east coast Ska bands and he still dressed as Jake back in the 90's!

Thanks for sending me down that memory hole! It was a fun ride!

@jessamyn I think that's even the correct model of dodge
I've seen a couple bluesmobile replicas before, but this might be the best.

@jessamyn I'll award them bonus points if they replace the replica CLM siren with an actual one that was deployed somewhere in Canada.

@idlestate Probably need to start with "Do we have a mall?"

@jessamyn Lol. That's street legal in VT. In Mass, that would need a farm plate.

@pattykimura 😂 I will note that the front license plate is

1. from New Hampshire
2. Says BLUES

@jessamyn LOL. Of course the live free or drive state.
It also says "Antique".
Mass still has the worst drivers.

@pattykimura absolutely with you on the Massachusetts drivers. I learned to drive there and it's always a challenge to go back.

@ardgedee They had a QR code in the window but we didn't look them up. They are, I believe, from New Hampshire.

@jessamyn Wonder if it came from Mount Prospect. Very good replica.

The Turtle

@jessamyn is that an actual air raid/tornado siren (I forget the name of the company that made them) or did they do a mockup to look like one?

@the_turtle I'm not sure, it looked like a Liberty Bell on its side which was wild in and of itself.

So when they show up way late, play a song and skip out early, it will still be full pay, right?

@nicksilkey This was at the South Royalton Old Home Days. We had gone to a talk there earlier in the day about the local stone chambers and whether or not Barry Fell was full of shit or not (the speaker seemed to think he probably was). And then i bought some of those window screen fixit patches for a quarter, so this seemed appropriate somehow.

I have finally looked up who this band is. They are the The Rock Island Blues Revue, "New England's Most Dangerous Show Band"

They played 7-10 pm a few towns over and I am a little sorry I missed it.

@jessamyn unclear if BLUES license plate legit or for show, but bonus points regardless. #KeepVermontWeird👍 (good-weird - as opposed to creepy JD Vance MAGA authoritarian / Christofascist weird😡👎)

It totally sucks that they now have to try extra hard to find a mall that isn’t deserted or shut down to drive through.
