    I heard Black on 92KQRS today. I'm surprised they played them since the station is over the top blue collar conservative.

    State Fair redux.

    saw def leppard/styx/tesla on day one, and then merle haggard/kris kristofferson/sturgill simpson on the last day.

    last night's show was a lot of fun. those old farts can still do it. they're obviously not mick jagger in terms of energy, but they certainly still possess the ability to remain incredibly engaging. and sturgill simpson was a perfect compliment. i'm not sure who i *thought* he was (i had come to the show thinking he was a black guitarist similar in style to shakey graves for some reason; clearly i did little research!), so i was kind of thrown when he emerged with a full band and was very clearly a white dude. but he tore through something like 15 songs in his allotted time and his music was no doubt influenced by the legends he was opening for. he's a modern country artist without the pop elements that a lot of modern country employs these days. and they even used a theremin.

    good to see jerparker there; we seem to run into each other a lot.

    I agree, good times last night. That was the music I grew up listening to, so it's always great to see true living legends in person. On top of that, Mr. Simpson lit it up. I lucked out this past winter in getting to see him at the Fine Line. Great performer.

    Good to see you too, Ryan.

    i figured it out- i was thinking sturgill simpson was benjamin booker. maybe it was the alliterative names. booker is playing the palomino fest in a couple weeks, and i must have confused the two. obviously not too familiar with either, but sturgill simpson won me over and hopefully benjamin booker will do the same here in a couple weeks.

    You going to the Palomino Festival too? I'll be there as well. Benjamin Booker is great. Caught his show at First Avenue and his album is solid.

    yup, will be at palomino. hoping i can get there early to see the lowest pair, i really like them.



    i went last year, and thought it was a pretty great fest. looking forward to this year. looks like they put the stages next to each other this time, which should work better.

    it took me waaaaaaaay too long to put together that their band name means they are the eagles (band) of death metal (genre). i hang my head in shame to this day.

    haha.. I didn't get there until you just said it. Then again, I'm not very familiar with The Eagles nor Death Metal, but I appreciate the play.

    I, too, am excited to hit Dinkytown and see EODM. Jesse "the Devil" Hughes is pretty engaging as a performer.
