They try to bring in what people want. Not everything... I'm still holding out for The Shins and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and what the fuck... Robbie Williams. Why not?<br /><br />The Case show, which I did not attend, I heard she may have missed the point that it was a live performance radio show -not a studio show in front of a live audience. I've softened a bit on her. I recall being furious with Case before and after the show. The reason I didn't do the review, actually, was because her management jerked me around for three weeks on an interview, then tossed me a ticket as a kind of passive apology. I didn't go because I was angry. It seemed like a better idea than going in with a chip on my shoulder.<br /><br />I'd like to hope she comes back and plays again.primalscreamxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270340067843252427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-81313514658963005652009-09-15T06:15:24.633-07:002009-09-15T06:15:24.633-07:00I wasn't at the show, so I can't say wheth...I wasn't at the show, so I can't say whether or not Case should've played the same song thrice. That said, I echo Jackie's sentiment about Charleston Stage with Larry Groce. Why does he feel the need to sort-of sing that same damn song all of the time? His skills in obnoxious public radio hosting are surpassed only by Michael Feldman and Terry Gross.Christopher Scott Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145140282045200199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-26913777326035938272009-09-14T22:04:45.800-07:002009-09-14T22:04:45.800-07:00You sound like those people at the 2008 Republican...You sound like those people at the 2008 Republican National Convention who had to pass through 6 metal detectors in 1 hour and still thought they were at a party.<br /><br />Anyone who thought sitting silent and sober while Neko Case stumbled through the same song 3 times like it was her first gig has a different standard of "rocked it" than...well, than the rest of us.Hippie Killerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155586731772296512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-45512011919975170182009-09-14T18:03:31.245-07:002009-09-14T18:03:31.245-07:00yeah, this "one person" is a longtime ne...yeah, this "one person" is a longtime neko fan and i'll say it again...she rocked it. <br /><br />"pharaohs" is a badass song and i loved hearing it each time she sang it. shit maybe if she woulda sang it one more time bob thompson's jazz piano set would been about 4 minutes shorter...or larry groce and his wife (or sister) woulda sang one less song. <br /><br />i gotta confess seeing her sing "i wish i was the moon" might have brought a tear to my eye...had i been there with my boyfriend...as you apparently were, killer...heh.larryosaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606729652890425319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-23144940089690966522009-09-14T11:58:54.123-07:002009-09-14T11:58:54.123-07:00I guess we found the one person who felt like Neko...I guess we found the one person who felt like Neko "rocked it."<br /><br />I guess that one song that she played 3 fucking times was a favorite of yours.Hippie Killerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155586731772296512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-72341915492492623322009-09-09T10:43:22.452-07:002009-09-09T10:43:22.452-07:00I just read the Hank article.

Neko Case rocked it and Larry Groce co-starring Mountain Stage failed....again. <br /><br />As far as Hank Jr, all the people I know who are going to that show are excited as anything. Hell, I love seeing Social D, but I hate been preached to by Mike Ness about how I should vote.

I don't do that.<br /><br />I didn't say word one about Hank's show. I've never been to his show. I did, however, talk to the man about why he was coming to WV.

Hell, I'll just tell 'em I'll never slam a show without actually seeing it, and surely that'll put me one-up on the person who's supposed to be doing the job now.

I could...Late to the party, but yeah, you did good. I couldn't have restrained myself from pointing out to him Gore's presidency without the electoral college. <br /><br />I was working at the airport a few years when he came through after a show at the Civic Center, and that's when I realized he was a dickhead. His pilots absolutely hated him.<br /><br />The weird part was that everyone around him was laid back and good to meet. Hell, even the guy that had to pull his boots off for him as he sat on the steps of his Leer had a good attitude.<br /><br />It was that night that I realized that he had more Audrey in him than Hank, Sr., and his campaigning for Palin and the thinly veiled racist radio ads against Obama showed that he had too much Alabama circa 1961 for my tastes.<br /><br />Growing up I had all his albums and he was part of one of my favorite concerts. The day of my high school commencement Hank, Willie Nelson, and a couple of other bands had a huge concert at Laidley Field. I've been told that it actually kinda shitty, but we had one hell of a good time that night under the plastic sheeting that was spread over those of us on the field in a vain attempt to keep us dry.<br /><br />Anyhow, a good article about an arrogant prick.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597066084612634836.post-91060244033593506942009-09-04T15:47:56.812-07:002009-09-04T15:47:56.812-07:00I've read and reread your article on Hank and ...I've read and reread your article on Hank and I thought you did excellent. Even though the Hank you portrayed wasn't the Hank you remembered from your youth (or mine), it is the Hank that he chooses to present today. Facts are facts, and you presented the facts of his quotes (and the way his view of the electoral college and Obama's election doesn't jive with hard facts that fall outside of opinion) in a non-judgmental and honest way.<br /><br />I think Hank, Jr., is as open about wanting to rattle cages and draw a political line as Hank III is about how crap it was to have Hank, Jr., pretty much ignore him and whether there was money or safety or interaction with his father in his life at all when he was a kid.<br /><br />One of the things that always made Old Bocephus endearing (even if I didn't always agree with him...and I rarely do now) is that he strikes me as a "warts and all" kinda guy. You had the balls to write what he said and he said the to the press because he likes folks to know he has balls and likes to raise dander.<br /><br />It was a job well done. FWIW, If you read my blog about the Engvall show that I posted this morning, you'll see that I don't think there are quite as many folks "into" this rally as the numbers being supplied by the organizers would have you believe.Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.com
