The musician left home at age 15 to forge his own path away from his father's career choice for him, which he had no interest in. “I didn’t like the smell of ether. I didn’t like the sound of babies crying. I didn’t like anything at all about being a doctor,” he once told American Blues Scene. All the stories he "rambles on" about are said to be real-life adventures of his, starting from his teenage years.
"Someone grabbed a hammer, must've been Big Jon / Skinny Pete is hollering, gonna strap his banjo on / Arlo’s in his teepee, playing spoons and bones / Dylan got the sceptre, but ramblin' Jack is on the throne," Grimm croons of Elliott authentically holding the top spot in his eyes. The song was written to pay homage to the star who earned his moniker due to his tendency to ramble on and on, a key feature of his signature storytelling.
Arlo Guthrie told Rolling Stone in 2009, “I’ve known him for close to my whole life, and I’ve never heard the same story twice. It wasn’t until I was older when I realized that ‘ramblin’ was not a geographical name.”
And after a storied career spanning over seven decades, he still hasn't hung up his mic yet. According to his official website, Ramblin' Jack put on a string of shows this past spring, most recently appearing on May 22 at The Freight in Berkeley, Calif.
