    Mortality...

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    First time I've been here since the terrible spate deaths of beloved musician that we saw in January and February.

    Maybe after my own brush with mortality due to a terrible car crash, this has had me thinking about the artists that we have lost and will soon be losing. With the second generation of Rock Idols (Dylan, McCartney, Morrison, et al) in their mid to late-70's, the next couple of years will be tough.

    Circle of life and shit...

    it's actually my fave dylan tune!

    oh and it looks like a new DVD coming out soon. - MusiCares person of the year 2015

     Street Legal really benefitted from the Remix. Greil Marcus and Robert Christgau savaged the record back in the day. This record, like most of Dylan's catalogue, if plagued by his ADD and mercurial approach to his muse.

    The subtle religious overtones indicate what was to come over the next several years.

    Jesse Malin?

    I saw him open for Counting Crows in 2002 in NYC. He was very good, but I've not kept up with him. When I saw him he was supporting The Fine Art of Self Destruction, which is the only one of his albums that I return to. That album was produced by Ryan Adams, who is a very vocal Malin fan. 

     

    Funnily enough, I was browsing through Jesse Malin's Instagram feed the other day, and noticed that he made a post about sharing the bill with Tweedy. Ryan Adams made a pretty snarky comment:

    DRA still has a lot of butthurt over Tweedy's off hand dismissal of him 15 or so years ago (really more of a distancing from the Alt Country label...leaving it to Ryan Adams)

    Now that the record (do you still call them records? I do.) has been out almost half a year, I can say the only thing I am not overly fond of is Jeff's doubled vocals.

    Actually most of the centers I go to call themselves day care, so it isn't a totally pejorative term.  But then again a lot of the store front centers I visit have pretty embarrassing names anyway.

    The spouse who was a Human Resources Officer for a large, privately held Company that ran Child Care Centers used to give me hell when I said she was a personnel director for a chain of day care centers.

    I'm a picker
    I'm a grinner
    I'm a lover
    And I'm a sinner
    Playin' my music in the sun
    I'm a joker
    I'm a smoker
    I'm a mid-night toker
    I get my lovin' on the run

    Not really.  My job is fairly bureaucratic, so I don't interface all that much with the actual nutrition field and I am not a trained nutritionist.  I visit schools and daycare centers to make sure that they are following the federal regs, which includes the types and amounts of food that is needed for the ages of children and the program involved.

    "Day Care"?

    Don't say that around "Child Care" workers.

    How do you listen to your music during the day?

    iPod primarily and computer (somewhat rarely)

     

    Almost never listen to CDs (unless it's on the computer) and very, very rarely listen to my vinyl (when I do it is a major event..the fils and spouse listening with me)


    Interestingly, I used to mainly listen to XMMLB and XMPR when I had my truck (which dies a horrible, horrible death saving my life two weeks ago)

    Jon Landau has an entire rap about how the fan base hated the 'other' band because it was largely African American.

    I think many Springsteen fans hated the tour because it was inauthentic...it all felt contrived (the fuzzy dice coming out on Roll of the Dice, the pairing up of background singers with band members on Mans's Job). He took no risks (other than the racial makeup of the Band). It was an e street band without the e street band. The very fact he had crystal talifero playing Clarence's role as a foil (even playing the tenor sax on born to run) screamed midlife crisis.

    And if I never see a pudgy guitar player in a kimo again, then I will have led a blessed life (Shane fontayne still hasn't lived that down).

    The very fact that Bruce survived the early 90's with his mystique and reputation intact is a miracle.

    Bruce Springsteen - "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town"

    Human touch was bruce doing e street band material without the e street band. Crappy 80's production ruining some really good songs (listen to the Christic versions of Soul Driver and Real World).

    Bruce was so devoid of ideas that he shared writing credits with Roy bittan and did a half assed rewrite of a sonny boy Williamson song). Most notable for the worst song Bruce ever wrote (Real Man).

    Lucky Town is infinitely better in my opinion.
