MUSIC: Andre Williams Is a Dirty Old Man

Andre Williams, who co-wrote the Dertoit soul classic "Shake a Tailfeather," is performing two shows in San Francisco this weekend. Williams started out as an R&B singer, but these days, at 70, he cranks out funk-based tunes with mind-bogglingly dirty lyrics. His more recent songs include "Let Me Put It In," "Sling It, Bang It, and Give It Cabfare Back Home," and "Pussy Stank," all unforgettable, surely. The X-rated Andre is on the rebound after he spent the middle of his life addicted to drugs, a habit that was fueled while working with Ike Turner, and ended up living on the streets. Now, he's got a new album out fittingly titled Aphrodisiac. Andre Williams plays Friday and Saturday at the Hemlock Tavern.

Yeah! Wilmot salutes you from the grave!

"
Thus statesman-like, I'll saucily impose,
And safe from danger valiantly advise,
Sheltered in impotence, urge you to blows,
And being good for nothing else, be wise.
"
from John Wilmot's The Disabled Debauchee

Blowfly's been doing this for years. Some of the funniest shit I've ever heard.

Too Fat To Fuck

SHUT YOR CRAZY YAP WOMAN!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Oh hell yeah. Don't miss this. He came through Birmingham with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the JSBX didn't have shit on Andre Williams.

I'm rather partial to "The Stroke," a song about Tupelo, Mississippi. And handjobs.
