Why Does Levon Helm Refuse To Play The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down During His Concerts? Levon Helm was the drummer for The Band. He was the lead vocalist on “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” He still plays live concerts, but he hasn’t sang that song since 1976. Why?
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down has not been performed live since The Last Waltz. The inside story is that Levon now refuses to sing it, seeing Robbie’s portrayal of the south as patronising. This is odd if, as he claims, he participated in writing it. Levon contradicts Taplin on the speed of the recording.
Robbie is sensitive to Levon’s charge, denying that he was writing it directly “at” Levon, but nevertheless it ceased to get done on stage by Levon or by The Band. But probably Robbie had too much to say about it in various interviews, which got Levon’s bristles up. A later note from the website mentioned a Larry King radio interview where Levon simply says they stopped doing it “because it’s hard to sing”.

Does Levon Mean Lover In Another Lanuage And If So Which One? Does”levon”the name mean “lover” in another language and if so which language does it come from?
Not that i know of.
Levon means “lion” in Armenian and “spices” in Egyptian.
Does Levon Ter Petrossian Represent The Social Democratic Hunchakian Party For Armenia? Just wondering if Levon Ter Petrossian represents the Hunchakian (Hnchag, Hunchagian) party or if he supports it because I saw some pictures of him at a Pro-Hunchakian group.
Levon Ter-Petrossian is a leader of Armenian National Congress http://www.anc.am and Social Democratic Hunchakian Party for Armenia is a part of that structure supporting Ter-Petrossian and his democratic movement.
