To get back to SFTD related things,
I had a good time at Henning's show opening for Dando. If a packed Iron Horse (last time) illicited negative comments by ED, I guess a 1/4 full Horse left him speechless.
Still, one can only say that he's got a ton of great songs, a great voice and he looks better than anyone else of that "college rock"/120 Minutes generation. And he covers Nesmith's "Different Drum"..now if he blended his Parsons songs with the Nez tune, that'd be something. I shoulda yelled out for it. But every songwriter hates to be asked to play a cover tune. It's insulting, so stop doing it. Ok? A cover is supposed to be a pleasant surprise, a peek into the performer's record collection.
I've had Ning's song "Looks Like I'm Tall" in my head the last 3 days. It's strange how such a fully fleshed out song just couldn't make it as a band song--but it's like Robyn Hitchcock's "Cynthia Mask". I don't wanna hear a band.
"Ownership society" my arse. Why has the rate of library activity gone up and up (while the budget going down?).
Lastly, I watched a bunch of SCTV episodes this weekend. Really, really funny. Who remembers that Rick Moranis used to be completely hillarious? His Merv Griffin is just about my favorite comedy skit ever. Ever.
But boy, they couldn' t get a decent musical act to save their lives.
