LIVE! "Somebody Loves You (Like Dino Said)" Johnny J. Blair "Singer at Large"

Years ago I stopped a man from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. His nickname was Froggie (real name John). I knew him as a bike messenger in San Francisco. He painted flowers on his face, based on some numerological equation. It could be said he was “a little lost lamb” in “the heart of the city” (to quote Nick Lowe’s song). One morning, as I was checking into work, I found a note he left where he knew I’d find it. He’d scrawled “Bye bye Blair” on a torn out magazine ad for Marlboro cigarettes that showed a construction worker smoking on the Golden Gate Bridge. I called the Bridge Police and, sure enough, they caught him before he could jump. A year after the Bridge incident, Froggie turned up, sane and sober, and thanked me for intervening. Little did he know he’d end up in verse 3 of this song...my funk-soul ramble musically inspired by Joni Mitchell and The Staple Singers. The title is a refraction on the Dean Martin song “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.” The point is that Somebody loves you even when you can’t see it.
