Boston, '84ish when the True Believers covered it live
Where was that, David? I wonder if I was there?
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Gracias, Jim.
David's post reminds me that The Austin Music Network (our hometown video network, y'know) is about to go off the air and has been playing clips of live Roky Erickson performances, including a scaldingly great one from 20 years ago with the True Believers.

The Channel. It was a Los Lobos show with True Believers opening. I saw Hoodoo Gurus and The Replacements (separate shows) at the Channel that year too. Also The Bangles at The Paradise.

Speaking of which, how's Alejandro Escovedo doing?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
20th Century Boy by T Rex is a freaking GREAT song
It may be the freaking GREATEST song.

Last I heard, he was doing pretty well, but that was a few months back.
So, I just listened to The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute, and I'm sorta ambivalent about it. There's aspects to the music I really like (the space-rock/free-jazz wackiness), and aspects that push all the wrong buttons with me (the Yes-ishness), and I'm not sure which will ultimately sway my take on the album.

I definitely was at that Hoodoo Gurus show (Big hair! Ahhhh!). And I saw the Bangles at the Paradise the second time they came around. I know I saw the True Believers somewhere around that time, but can't remember if it was that Channel show. I really wish I'd kept a diary.

Punishingly Intricate
how's Alejandro Escovedo doing?
That reminds me I think I saw something about him touring now....YES!
He's in DC on Sept 30. I hope that means he's doing a lot better.

People don't recover from Hep C, do they? Isn't it one of those diseases that's always fatal, but can be minimized with clean living and the right combination of meds?

Yup. Very often the way Hep C. kills you is that it leads to liver cancer.
