Joe Jurney - Transmissions from Mebane

I almost forgot I had this video. This is now ex-Burlington Councilman Jim Butler performing a little David Allan Coe at The Rusted Bucket in October.

It was so inspiring that yours truly followed Butler’s lead and sang “Heart Shaped Box” with the Back Porch Orchestra. Unfortunately, no footage of that performance exists but I do believe Angie Ball, the Bucket’s owner, has some blackmail photos of me singing.

I have to give it to Butler. He gets points for belting out some good ol’ DAC. I can’t imagine any other local politician doing such a thing. Well, maybe former Mebane councilman Bob Hupman singing Pink Floyd’s “Money” or Bill Lashley singing “Street Fighting Man.”

A few things about the video: The audio on the video is terrible and loud so be sure to turn your speakers down. Also, it was very dark so it’s hard to see Butler putting on a Bob Seger-esque performance. Finally, the cameraman was, let’s say, a little, um, tired at the time so the footage not exactly, um, steady. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
