Landreth fan robs bank, at large

by Walter Pierce

The guitar master has conspicuously declined to release a statement disavowing the Sonny Landreth fan who is a stealer.

Perhaps giving credence to the claim that listening to masterful, blisteringly innovative slide guitar can joggle both brain and morals, police in Ocala, Fla., are on the hunt for a Sonny Landreth fan who robbed a bank on March 14.

According to witnesses, the Sonny Landreth fan entered the bank, handed the bald teller a note demanding cash - he did not brandish a weapon - and fled in a blue Chevy Impala. Blue is said to be Landreth's favorite color.

The guitar master, who is prepping for a series of dates on the East Coast in early April, has conspicuously declined to release a statement disavowing the Sonny Landreth fan who is a stealer. Equally curious is the lack of comment on the bad Sonny Landreth fan at BrokenHeartedRoad.com, the website of Landreth's fan club. Perhaps their webmaster has been busy. Robbing banks.
