Apparently he finds me sleeping in train stations soothing.
Because, yet again, there is about three hours between when the show lets out and when I can leave for home.
Anya ,'Showtime'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Everyone else in his band is SO JEALOUS.
CURE COVER BAND. I'm trying to picture Frankie in a Cure cover band, and failing at it. Gerard, moping about and singing like Robert Smith? That I can picture with ease.
Imagining it is tough.
That's why I have to go.
I am just the Best Fan Evah.
My friends The Mood [link] had a song on Real World this week and now I am watching it. Brutal. Bru. Tal.
Holy cow! This is SO COOL.
Alright, it wasn't the whole song. But I could hear Marco singing and everyone else playing. I've seen them play that song live three times now (Knitting Factory, Delancey, Bitter End).
So. Cool.
Bo Diddley has passed away!!! [link]
Damn. I saw him over a decade ago (closer to two) at a club in Allston, MA, and he was older than God (but not John McCain) then. Still sad, though.
Bo Diddley has passed away!!!
Sucks. I wrote about him in LiTG. I think he's unfairly remembered only for the "Bo Diddley Beat" when he was such a funny, smart songwriter and a fantastic guitarist. Great bands with weird lineups (Jerome on lead maracas!).
You only have to look at the British Invasion bands who covered him to understand how important he was. He was really the only first generation rocker still in top form through the early sixties. Huge influence on the Stones, Animals, Yardbirds.
And he was just so fuckin' cool.
Not to mention George Thoroughgood and the Destroyers, either.
