Indigo Girls "Fact of the Week"
 
WHO IS THE "CHICKENMAN"? 
 
In the "Rites of Passage" press kit Amy said, "This is a real person,
an older guy who lives in a trailer in the middle of this junkyard
off the highway somewhere between Houston and Austin.  There's a big
sign that says 'CHICKEN MAN'.  It looks like everything's for sale,
but you'll ask about something and he'll say, 'Oh that's not for
sale.'  We got into a conversation, and some of his values and ideas
seemed incredibly comforting to me at the time.  It was the way he'd
look out over this piece of land and take such pride and satisfaction
in this collection of junk!  This guy was deep, he had layers of
character underneath that rough skin and dirt.  'Chickenman' is
really a stream-of-consciousness type song."
 
The Indigo Girls Fact of the Week comes to you from CityFolk recording artist Wayne Morris, whose music is

strongly influenced by the Indigo Girls.

Check out sound clips from the new Wayne Morris CD "Alive!", including a recording of the Indigo Girls’ This Train Revised at www.waynemorris.com
