The Warren Zevon tribute in LA on Saturday was one for the ages! I was a bit amazed to be reminded of how many different fantastic songs he had written...the show was a good 3 hours with barely a pause between songs. Some great performers too...Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakum, Scott MCCaughey, Steve Wynn, Susan Cowsill, and so many other gifted musicians, including Zevon's son Jordan. The huge, sold out United Theatre (formerly the Ace) sang and ah-ooo'd our hearts out to "Werewolves of London", and the show's glorious finale saw every musician back onstage (50 or 60 of them?) to join in a fiery

Thank you as always, Paul!

I got to see the Mekons at a tiny L.A. club last week. What a fun show!

Got my ticket! See y'all there!

All credit goes to our tech guy! I just ran interference.

I love this review, bbop, but bread jokes are pretty much a sourdoughn't. Tell Jeff. 😆

Repaired by our excellent tech guy.

I have my doubts about my magic but I'm currently listening to "Restless" and liking it a lot! I love Prine's label.

How was it?

Will the production happen in any other cities?

Thanks for bringing us along on the boat, Paul! another brilliant recap.

Wonderful recap, bbop!

Perhaps they should change their name temporarily, just for the trump administration, to "Won'tco".

But what does it MEAN?

I've been dying to say this but it was only just officially announced...Waxahatchee fans, Katie is also on this tour! What a fabulous bill! 😊

That's going to be a great tour! I haven't heard the Wilco rumors but it seems entirely possible.

Oh I do too! I've never been to Chattanooga and that needs to be fixed in the future.

I say, if you can afford to show up 4 or 5 hours early, bring a chair and do it! Then you have time to relax, chill out, and line chat. Some of my best friendships began with a chat in line.

I tried so hard to get tickets for this but the site was glitching and I kept getting the page saying it wasn't yet on sale, even long after 10 a.m. Sigh. Wasn't meant to be, I guess, but it's lovely to read your review! I know it sold out very, very quickly.

I'll see you on the 29th and the second! You'll be missed!

See you there!!!

He's been having a blast with this crew!

That girl can sing!!!

I'm so sorry about your mom. What a horrible year for you. This year has been like that for me. Despite the election, one thing won't change. We won't go back.

The sadness is almost crippling. We could have been looking at such a bright, hopeful future, but instead, this. Existential dread. Please, somebody, remove this cancer from our body politic before our country disintegrates. Still trying to pick myself up and dust off. We have work ahead of us. Do it for Jimmy Carter.
