Bobble Tiki's hula girl alarm clock woke him up last Thursday with the sound of Waylon Jennings singing "I'm a Ramblin' Man."  No matter how foul Bobble Tiki's mood, that song has always made Bobble Tiki feel good - cocky, strong, self-assured.  When it comes ripping out of a jukebox, it's as if Jennings is grabbing Bobble Tiki by the carvings of his neck and shouting, "Son, lighten up and have a good time.  I mean it now, hoss." Bobble Tiki misses tha old boy.  Jennings sang like he meant business. He didn't get fancy, and he didn't send his voice on missions it could not complete, but there was an urgency in his best songs that pounded them home. When he sang something, it stayed sung. The Outlaws will mosey on into Doyle's Saturday night for a dead-on Jennings tribute. Pro tip: Find a parking spot early on St. Helens before the dusty pick-up trucks cranking AM radio arrive.

THE OUTLAWS: A WAYLON JENNINGS TRIBUTE, 9 p.m., Doyle's Public House, 208 St. Helens Ave., Tacoma, no cover, 253.272.7468
