Little Wisconsin Boy Has The Blues Like The Kid In Walk Hard

"People say 'He don't have the blues' and then when they see me they say: 'Oh, he does have the blues!'" The state of Wisconsin says this 8-year-old boy who plays the blues can't play in taverns and bars because of child labor laws, even though Irish dancing girls with strange wigs can play at beer-serving Irish festivals. No fair:

Not to be really cynical, but did his dad start pimping him out after seeing the young Dewey Cox blues-prodigy scene in Walk Hard? Either way, an innocent child singing about how his lady left him is always funny.

I don't think they were complaining about his age.

Too bad the kid can't get bottles thrown at him at a roadhouse. Cause that's what they do at rowdy roadhouses. He would have been perfect for the highly anticipated sequel, Road House II: Pain Still Don't Hurt.
