Shane Nicholson - Jimmie Rodgers Was A Vampire

[TEQTONYK]

Jimmie Rodgers was the metaphor. People thought they knew the situation but had it arse about face. There is kind of a humour in that song but more of accepting you are wrong."

[TEQTONYK]

"The symptoms they showed were similar to those of vampires. There was confusion about that, that we know now with medical knowledge was wrong. I joined the two things together and used them as a metaphor for getting things completely wrong, being way off the mark, completely wrong about the situation. The song itself is just a conversation between two people.

[TEQTONYK]

Nicholson drew on myths surrounding Jimmie Rodgers - the late singing brakeman from Meridian, Mississippi, who died of TB - for another new song.

Rodgers was born on September 8, 1897, and died aged 35 on May 26, 1933, after a short but colourful career as a yodelling pioneer and country singer.

"There was a time when people associated TB sufferers with vampires," Nicholson revealed.

Sounds like more than a song that you would listen to on YouTube. Sounds like something you could listen to while sitting on a beanbag at night, perhaps reading a book. Good song.

Und er passt zum heutigen Tag ... HALLOWEEN !!!
