There was a reference to West Side Story, which I could discuss ad infinitum because it is one of my favorite all time movies. I also saw Bruce Springsteen live at that Coliseum for the Born in the USA tour. He played Born to Run. I must admit, at that time, I did not notice the minor 7th interval. To be fair, I wasnt really listening for it, though... PS Charlatans were cool. SFTOS is a good disc. and good one to introduce an invetigator to the band.

One of my best friends in college is touring with a pretty popular country act right now and he turned me on to Paisley. I'm really proud of that guy, as after so long wondering if he should, he one day up and moved to Nashville to try to live the dream, and he's doing it. He is an absolutely incredible guitar player. He's the one that taught me that shredding should be the least of a player's worries, as being able to improvise over any progression, and being able to play the exact chord that you have in your head at any given time is infinitely more useful. We used to play a game where I would play a chord with my back turned, and no matter how complex or dissonant, he would figure it out in his head in 5 seconds or less. On the mission he used to play piano arrangements out of the hymn book on his guitar by sight. Compared to him I was nothing and I've gotten a lot worse since then. |

Folks here in Salt Lake were very receptive to GLJ during that show. Interesting how bands are treated/accepted differently around the country, eh?

One thing I do appreciate about country is that it has never strayed from its roots. The culture still holds to the tradition that to earn your chops and be legitimate in the industry and amongst your peers, you need to go make your bones in Nashville. I guess to a lesser extent, american heavy metal was that way with LA/Sunset Strip being the epicenter, but that was only for a relatively brief decade. All the country greats have passed through Nashville and were launched there. It has always been that way and will likely never change. It is a great city to visit if you like music history...or BBQ. Or Minnie Pearl hats.

KROQ was a great station to listen to when I was in Orange County from '87-'89. KJQ was the SLC version, but it went away with new management and now I don't like any of the new alternative/progressive stuff, save for a handful of bands. Now I just listen to satellite radio - Sirius 22 First Wave - so I can hear the music that I like.

TD and Woot, for your benefit, I am an old fart, and much of what I type really makes that obvious, but what can I do? It's what I think.
