1. I love Fred
Big fan, never had the chance to see him live, but his live shows are fantastic from all I hear. Ralph's Last Show, as a live album is a masterpiece.

I occasionally post the lyrics to Time to get a Gun in the Gun forum. :D

Next to Robyn Hitchcock he is probably the funniest folk singer I listen to.

8. On MuchMusic.
The video had a fifties movie feel, young man with a fast living girlfriend who is also in cahoots with a crooked cop.

7. Holy Crap!
We've got Fred fans hare????????

The man is a GOD, and he's one of the nicest, plain 'ol guys you'll ever meet. That he's been as successful as he's been doing it completely outside of mainstream music circles is a testmount to him.

I've got "Time To Get A Gun" on my overnight show; that songs always cracks me up..
