[mahalow69]

fannie like fannie may? put the load on the taxpayers... lol

[HolidayRhoads]

Fannie???? LOL this song is The Weight by The Band. Its on the album The Last Waltz. I know i own the RECORD....records were these black 12" discs for those who dont know....lol

[rickb731]

i still have the original version from Music from Big Pink.

the last waltz version was a redo its not from the actual concert recording

[TheDDG]

Either Ron is not a big Band fan, or he's borderline hammered...or both. Fun stuff.

non-paid political ad not payed for by anyone

[Radu10111]

the original song is Take a load off annie by Bob dylan I know I have the lyrics

[barry06]

wow, you people are dumb. this song called THE WEIGHT, written by ROBBIE ROBERTSON of THE BAND. and the lyrics are "take a load off annie". FOOLS.

[HarveyDenton989]

thanks for agreeing with me on the words of the song, it is annie cause the name Fanny doesn't even come up once

[rickb731]

bro its Fanny! annie doest come up either! Anna Lee does. Trust me on this.

[rickb731]

both robbie and Levon wrote this but robbie got the credit. the lyric is Fanny. anna lee was a friend of Levons from down south, Luke was a member of the Band when they where the Hawks, Crazy Chester was a guy from Arkansas who was kinda retarded

[mdumas43073]

Robbie Robertson taking full credit for a song somebody else worked on?

Not possible!

[Radu10111]

the original song is Take a load off annie by Bob dylan I know I have the lyrics

[katerrible]

I think I'm missing something... where's Jian? Is that him on the drums?

[scottymcgregor]

yes, he's playing drums

[musicality43]

Just wondering: When was this live footage recorded, and is the grouping a regular occurence or was it a one-off thing?

(I ask this only because it was really good, and because I would love to catch this line-up the next time I'm in that area.)

[michellebock]

Annie by the way :/

Not Fannie

[lster123]

its fannie. listen to the band.

[michellebock]

The song is actually called "The Weight (Annie) by The Band"

Serioulsy, I'm not lying :|

[lster123]

they say fannie in the song. youre probably getting confused because levon helm came up with miss anna lee from a real friend Anna Lee Amsden. its fannie. look up the lyrics anywhere.

[michellebock]

I still don't agree with you but that's okay. Not everyone agrees about everything and I really appreciate the way that you told me your information. You were polite about it and I thank you very much. People respect it so much more when you say things like that :D

Unlike kylecabral who called me a stupid fuck :/

So thanks :D

[lster123]

Yeah. if someone doesnt agree with ya they dont need to call ya a stupid f***. anyways, happy new year.

[pattyinla]

Robbie Robertson wrote the song and it is copywrited by Big Pink Music and Dwarf Music. If you google it, you will find that it is indeed FANNNY.

[Radu10111]

it is not Fanny Its Annie its about a girl named Anna Lee and you would not call her Fanny you idiot

[pattyinla]

Whoa dude, lighten up!

[Radu10111]

it is not Fanny Its Annie its about a girl named Anna Lee and you would not call her Fanny you idiot

[pattyinla]

Oh, and a quick question. How is it about a girl named Anna Lee? Because she is mentioned in the song? So is Carmen,Luke,Chester, and the Devil. And I a quite far from an idiot thank you very much. 8-)

[rickb731]

im with you! Anna Lee is mentioned 2x so is Carmen The song is not about annalee shes just one of the many mentioned the lyric is not annie it is Fanny.

[sauciejack]

you are dumb. obviously not a fan of the band

[JohnCasey]

Levon Helm:

The song was full of our favorite characters. 'Luke' was Jimmy Ray Paulman (of The Hawks). 'Young Anna Lee' was Anna Lee Williams from Turkey Scratch. 'Crazy Chester' was a guy we all knew from Fayetteville who came into town on Saturdays wearing a full set of cap guns on his hips ... he was like Hopalong Cassidy and a friend of The Hawk's.
