a coherent collection of random statements regarding God, words and tunes

A quick one while I'm away....

     First, obviously haven't been able to get to those reviews -- although a verdict on Keane has already been determined. Tim the One-Lunged Beanpole beats Andre the Musical Giant in a knockout -- whiny U2 imitations don't get it done for me by a long stretch. (That said, Andre may well be correct about the other two candidates up for review -- he's spot-on with at least one, and I'm still confirming the other. I'm pretty sure they'll have their day in court soon, either way.)

     A REALLY long column on Patti Smith is somewhere down the line, as both Marion & I are digging on her heavily these days. But there's still some yawning gaps in my collection that need to be filled first. (I am ashamed to admit that I have yet to hear Easter. You heard it here first, boys and girls.)

   In the meantime, still transitioning -- new job responsibilities, another man in the house for the first time in 37 years, etc. And another open mic. Tomorrow night's proposed set:

"Lone Rhinoceros," Adrian Belew (provided there's no kids in the room )
"God Went Bowling," The Swirling Eddies
"Dancing Barefoot," Patti Smith
"One Good Year," Slaid Cleaves
"The Rose Above the Sky," Bruce Cockburn

     Until then....
