Buddy Guy performed tonight for a continuous two-hour set at HSU's Van Duzer Theater, where he managed to break every rule of the stage. Here was a 75-year-young man (as he liked to put it) singing every raunchy word and image conceivable from "she had one leg to the east, one leg to the west, and I was in the middle trying to do my best" to the next song, "I met a woman who was a tub a fat, laugh if you want brother but I like it like that," and even the awkwardly inappropriate chorus, "You just don't realize you got yourself a good deal, She's nineteen years old and she got ways like a baby child." Not to mention the infamous phrase that he coerced the entire crowd to yell at the top of their lungs, "While you were slippin out, someone else was slippin in!"

Buddy Guy played the guitar as if his soul depended on it. He even caressed the guitar backwards making it sing on his chest as he sang about making love to it. You can't get more pimp then that! He also whipped out his classic drum-stick playing on the guitar, which I had never seen before. As the grand finale, Buddy broke the biggest rule of all which was walking into the audience with his wireless electric guitar, catching the body guards off-guard behind stage. As they raced to keep up with him, he pushed his way through an uproarious crowd and all the way to the balcony where he pulled hot licks out of his Fender Stratocaster. A rule-breaker by nature, Buddy Guy impressed the Humboldt natives who pride themselves on making their own rules.
