Busk Break: Bobby Sax
Thanks for reading through to the end…

Really? His tunes are atrocious. I know I’m not the only one that thinks this…
Buddy? toss off ya barf bag.
Listened to Bobby for 10 plus years, he is Sheville.
You are “atrocious” with bad mouthing a wonderful member of Sheville’s downtown ambiance.
Even though I left six years ago because I saw Sheville bowing to corporate asinine developers and making it impossible for true Ashevillians to own their roots. Glad I got out, because the place can trap you, but I’d still love to visit now and again.
Sheville?
IS that you, space man?
If I hear Bobby Sax play “Roxanne” one more time I’m gonna beat my self to death on the flat iron. He is “Sheville”, I guess, in so much as the town is full of musicians who only know ten songs. And if Jane thinks Asheville has gone corporate, I’d love to hear what socialist utopia she’s living in now– Shelby??
