Str8, you ignorant slut.
You carp on
Rebel Without a Cause, the greatest teen exploitation movie of all time, and then you pronounce the majesty of Rush? He, I liked "Tom Sawyer" too.... when I was in 7th grade...and I wasn't cool in 7th grade... and Rush isn't cool now.
The best quote about Neil Finn of Crowded House reads thusly:
"Neil Finn pisses genius."
Fantastic songwriter. Great live. A must-see. He played the House of Blues a couple years back. He had a ton of guests backing him up: Wendy Melvoin (of Wendy & Lisa/Prince and the Revolution), Johnny Marr, Lisa Germano and others. At one point, Wendy pointedly remarked that playing with Neil was the most fun she'd had making music. At another show the next year, Neil brought out his son Liam for a few songs. Crowded House should have been huge. Of course, I think that the Screaming Blue Messiahs should have got more airplay, so my judgment is suspect.
In other music news:
Bloodshot Records is having a sale. You can buy Neko Case CDs direct from the label. Or Jon Rauhouse's
Steel Guitar Air Show which is really good. Or a children's album that has cooler music than The Wiggles. (Is Allyce Beasley making good money as the voice of the Disney Channel? Should she have saved her residual checks from Moonlighting? Did she really think that there was going to be an Agnes DiPesto spin-off?)
