Webb Wilder - Samson And Delilah's Beauty Shop
S. Forbert
Rolling Tide Music ASCAP
(Webb speaks)
'There is a sheet of paper being circulated in the room
which
bears a terrific lie. At no time ever was this
aggregation known as
the Beatnicks. We have the greatest of admiration for
Maynard G. Crebbs
and his kind. However, we were the BeatNECKS. We got
tired of pointing
to our neck, you can't do it in an add because they
always misspell it
and you go around with a news paper like this all day.
So, now we are
and I am Webb Wilder. The names Wilder, Webb Wilder.
And for those
beatnicks in the crowd more power to ya. And for those
beatNECKS in the
crowd... maybe you don't know what a beatneck is? Maybe
a little boy,
possessed of the mind of a full grown man bought a
Beatles record in a
Gibson's discount center in Hattiesburg, Ms and JUST
MAYBE, He grew up
to be Webb Wilder.'
