March - Jonathan Richman at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh!! So excited. I routinely list his show in New Orleans in 83 (?) as one of my favorites of all time.
Nice! I don't see her much since she started with horses is pretty much an anthem for my life
No no no it was my friend who said Jonathan wouldn't play that club, etc. Jojo was great and loved it there and said he would have been amused to have a wedding reception at his show. Not excited, necessarily, but he would have rolled with it.

I haven't seen him in a long time. When Justine and I got married, we were in Wyoming but the wedding was in Berkeley. We had the reception at the Starry Plough, and a friend in the East Bay volunteered to visit with the bar to book in a band for the night that would be cool with having some wedding shenanigans happening. He refused to contact Jonathan, saying he doesn't play bars anymore etc etc. and anyway booked in a good fun rockabilly band. Jonathan played the Starry Plough a few nights late.
Sheesh. Now I hate him.
Thereâs a long interview with him on YT where he talks about not doing the old songs because heâs not that person now but they were perfect for back then. I get it. You donât want to end up being the Beach Boys or Willie, doing nothing but old somewhat irrelevant stuff for old people who canât move onâ¦BUT thereâs some joy in reliving things that made/make you happy.
Iâll go catch Jon Anderson every time I can now, even tho Iâve heard Siberian Khatru a kajillion times. Fortunately, Jonathan makes the kind of tunes you can appreciate on first listen. As long as he doesnât do them all in Italianâ¦

Nabbed tix to see Leo Kottke in Boulder tonight. I first saw Kottke around 1975 or 76 in Fort Worth & have been a big fan ever since. Heâs an amazing guitarist & quite funny live. He influenced me to play & write songs in 12-string open tuning. I cover a few of his songs in a simplified dumbed down kind of arrangement.
Just found out I won tickets to see Dom Flemons, one of the original Carolina Chocolate Drops, this Thursday, which also happens to be dionysius's birthday! https://www.04center.com/calen...

Paul McCartney is coming to the desert. His only show in California.
Debbie and I thought... Why not?
Pre- sale sold out immediately. With the cheap $300 tickets going for $1300.
General tickets went on sale two days later for $1300.
Nope.
I saw McCartney in the mid-2000âs in Denver, orchestra center seats. Paul & the band were in top form, an unforgettable show. Judging from his performance on the SNL 50th anniversary show, Iâm satisfied with the memory of the show I saw, I donât think he can equal it now. That said, having gone through Beatlemania in 62-64 while living as youngster in Germany after they broke out of Hamburg, then catching it again after moving stateside in mid-64, Iâve been a rabid fan virtually all my life. Iâm grateful for the McCartney show I saw & for him still be out in that long & winding road. Ringo too. If only John & George were still with us.
