Jack, having recently awoken from a refreshing slumber, hefts his historic, 300lb. rug with a smile on his face and a song in his heart.
The oft-maligned rug was a lifesaver at this show, since the riser on which the band set up was already
soppy-wet by the time they got there. Let's see, standing on a wet surface, holding an electrified instrument,
touching one's face to a wet microphone? The life-sustaining rug, upon which all the Illbillys stood
(or perched delicately atop a little stool in Jack's case), helped to avoid this potentially shocking situation.
