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."
