i know this has probably been brought up as a topic before so let me make it a little more interesting...


who would you like to open up for PJ who normally wouldn't seem like an artist they'd have open for them?...now i don't mean jokingly who should open for them, but like an artist you would seriously want to open for PJ but normally wouldn't be the kind of artist to open for them...i hope i make sense

i'd like to see Iron and Wine. Sam Beam is a terrific song writer and lyricist and despite his indie/folk sound, i think most of you would like him. currently i'm hooked on his song "Boy With a Coin" which is pretty upbeat for him. usually his stuff is pretty slow paced, but his lyrics are absolutely beautiful, i'm sorry to say this on this forum, but i think he's even better a lyricist than Eddie.

so who else would you like to see open for PJ but would probably be a long shot in happening?

    Okay, assuming that Puddle of Dumb (sorry, Mudd) isn't a joke......

    I was hanging out at the Rainbow in Hollywood a few years back with my wife and could hear POM soundchecking at the ROXY (which is right next door)...my wife likes POM so I went to the box office and asked if I could buy tickets for the 'mystery' performer that night and was told it was a private concert for VIVID video (the porn company)...I told my wife they were playing for the pornstars and she lost about all the respect for them that she had...(go figure) and then, about ten minutes after soundcheck, the entire band with their management came into the Rainbow for some cocktails.I took my wife in to meet them...she was reluctant at first, but then I pointed out what a golden opportunity it was to meet the creators of such classics as "she fucking hates me" and all the other insignificant shit they have written (only I worded it so much more nicely) and I convinced her to let me bring her to their table...I introduced her to Wes and the boys and she professed her earnest admiration and shook all their hands...after a moment of awkward silence, Wes (the singer guy) asked me what I though of them and I said (and I quote) "You guys are great! You are like Nirvana, but without any of the passion." Their jaws dropped and I grabbed my wife's hand and walked away.......

    One of the best days of my entire life........ :)

    And that's a true story gang..... ;)
