(Talk about totally sucking...)<BR/><BR/>Ah... "19th NB". One of my faves of theirs. The crappy little barely-outta-the-garage bar band I was in back in 79-80 used to open with that. We also useta dedicate "Under My Thumb" to "all the ERA supporters in the audience..." until I got a beer bottle tossed at me one night.

That clinches it: we’re going to check it out this weekend at our local monster Omni. <BR/><BR/>And hey speaking of things that are OK, maybe not as good as in the day but still capable of being pretty freaking great, Ray Davies will be on<A HREF="http://www.soundopinions.org" REL="nofollow"> Sound Opinions</A> this weekend. (If one's city doesn’t carry the show, one can always stream or download the mp3 file, can't one? Yes one can!) I’ve no idea whether Ray’s new CD is any good but I’ll probably buy it either way, and I'm sure looking forward to the interview.Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-39487728815553969812008-04-15T16:39:00.000-04:002008-04-15T16:39:00.000-04:00The Jack White bit was very cool.

Ms. A, otoh, seems to be suffering from Celine Dion Syndrome ... she confuses screaming with feeling (watching Dion try to upstage Aretha a couple of years ago was one of the funniest things I've ever seen).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282613112168154071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-44827516210407928992008-04-15T13:21:00.000-04:002008-04-15T13:21:00.000-04:00She's grotesquely out of her element here.

Hasn't a clue what the song is supposed to sound like, so she's reduced to sort of generic Janis Joplinesque bleating.<BR/><BR/>Jack White, on the other hand, knows exactly what he's doing in his "Lovin' Cup" duet with Mick.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-58137612750518884282008-04-15T13:06:00.000-04:002008-04-15T13:06:00.000-04:00"Christina Aquilera flat out sucks" Yeah, not at a..."Christina Aquilera flat out sucks" Yeah, not at all ugly though.
