He Will Punch You in the Box

I share a birthday with Levon Helm and so it is fitting this weekend as I pop “The Last Waltz” into the DVD player and pour a nice bourbon to toast some good tunes and celebrate one of my absolute favorite songs.

  1. Oh man, I cannot say enough good things about this song. I think it may be the singular and most important song ever written. Levon’s contribution to the cannon can not be underestimated. He also sang for us ‘up on cripple creek’ and ‘night they drove old dixie down’. Levon is still out there, still recording, and still touring. Saw him a couple years ago, though. It wasn’t pretty, he is old and a cancer survivor. If you get the chance, see him soon. Like Willie Nelson, these cats will be gone too soon.
