A Song for a Son
BC: Thank you. ... I need to catch my breath, heh heh heh. ... Thank you. It’s what you call in show business “stall” so I can catch my breath. Stalling. This my man Jeff Schroeder right here. Jeff said...
Guy in crowd: Billy, what about Obama?
BC: ‘Scuse me?
Several people in crowd: Obama!
BC: Obama who? Obama who?
People in crowd: He won! We won!
BC: I don’t see any Obama up here, okay? He ain’t doing me any good right now. I mean, god bless my man from Chicago but he ain’t helping me right now, you know what I mean? If he can, if he can help me catch my breath, that would be good. (crowd yelling) This is not an open forum like, uh, you know? This is a rock concert, you remember that? Concerts? As we all know, I do better when I play and not talk so I’m gonna to stick to that program tonight. Gonna show you how we would feel through song, through song. And fortunately for me, I did not write this next song...but I wish I had, it’s a beautiful. I-I think you’ll recognize it.

[encore break]
That’s the Way (acoustic)
BC: Before we finish up...say thank you one more time for a great show and thank you for the great two night stand, Toronto, thank you. ... And, uh, all pumpkin jokes aside, I think, uh...
Girl in crowd: I love you!
Other girl in crowd: I love you too!
BC: Okay, we’ll deal with that later, baby. Um, heh heh heh. I think, uh, I think there are a few moments in our life that we have to step back and say “whoa” and I think what’s going on in America right now with President Obama, which is mind-boggling. ... I’m very proud of my country right now for doing the right thing. ... So let’s hope that today, today we can look back...ten, twenty years and look back at some new dreams, new realities, new intelligence, heh heh. Maybe they can stop spying on us now. Fuckin’ chem trails, whatever the fuck they’re putting in the air!
Guy in crowd: Billy for president!
BC: Yeah right. ... I’d tax your ass so bad. You guys pay high enough taxes here anyway. You don’t, you don’t need any higher taxes. I mean, right? I know that whole thing where hockey players don’t want to come here ‘cause of the taxes, right? I don’t know. Right? Hurts NHL franchises in Canada, right? Okay. Not that our Hawks in Chicago are doing very well. How are your Kings doing? You don’t want to talk about the Kings. Gretzky’s coming back, I hear...to throw out the first puck, I think. Anyway, thank you very much, uh, for the faint of heart, this is one more trip into interspeller...heh heh...interstellar space so you may want to go now. For the rest of you, enjoy the ride and we’ll see you next time, okay?
