John Wesley Harding: Dirty Work
More than you ever wanted to know about Steely Dan - a band you either love or hate*, and I'm definitely with JWH on this one, I'm a true hater. Still, it's a great cover.
From the Stars in the Margins Show at The Zipper Theater in Manhattan on 8/11/08 that also featured Martha Plimpton, Rufus Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche amongst others. I missed the show but, happy, happy, joy, joy, I won tickets to the upcoming John Wesley Harding performance at Union Hall, Brooklyn on October 27. How cool is that?
*There are a bunch of mega-popular stadium-filling bands that I consider a complete waste of space. Of course they sell millions of records and have huge fame and wealth and I, em, don't. But that won't stop me telling the internets why I want to fall to the floor and pound it with my fists while screaming at the top of my lungs when I hear certain songs, will it? One day I'll do a post about them and you can hurl rotten eggs at me. Or perhaps you'll agree?
Amen! Steely Dan makes me nauseous. Years ago I was huge Sting fan and when I finally was able to see him in concert Steely Dan was playing over a loudspeaker before the show. My opinion of Sting changed after that.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny because I was thinking of all the bands I don't "get" and The Police are number one.
ReplyDeleteOMG! He's gone grey! It looks good on him. Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac. arrrgghhh! ((shudder))
