I gotta be honest, Mark E Smith was one of those guys who looked like he didn't have a lot of years left. Though that just based on a couple decades of him looking more and more beat up. <br /><br />Not to make light of his death, or anyone's, I've always pondered who would last the longest: Keith Richards or Jerry Lee Lewis. Little Richard's still alive too! I just hope that Keith Richard outlasts Jagger. <br /><br />As for "shredder" (ha-ha back) I do dig his shit, but I can definitely see the draw of the Spo-Dee-O-Dee factor, and the king size. Sometimes leaving a show satiated before it's over feels liberating.Tom G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15645389548043561479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289116667568040508.post-24357930004596238342018-03-06T15:26:49.196-08:002018-03-06T15:26:49.196-08:00Well, after The Fall cancelled last weeks schedule...Well, after The Fall cancelled last weeks scheduled NY gig a month or so ago (prewarning Mark E's recent demise), Malian shredder (ha-ha) Vieux Farka Touré (son of late great Ali Farka Touré) was the only might-like-to-see on my pre-trip research list. Turned out he was playing a venue just around the corner from our hotel, so it was kind of hard to find an excuse not to go, even though we’d been on our feet all day and were (happily, mind you) battling the combined gravitational pull of the King size bed and a fine bottle of red wine. Spo-Dee-O-Dee. Out we went. <br /><br />So? Yeah, Music To Watch Camels By. Good stuff. Although, as the groove gradually drifted from a bluesy Saharan billow to more up-beat and dance friendly, latin-flavored waters, we decided we’d had our money’s worth. Out we went. Spo-Dee-O-Dee. King size and wine.<br /><br />(Vieux+Ali: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SExQ1EuzKM)<br /><br />espen<br />espen enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289116667568040508.post-78535149790068388732018-03-04T15:13:47.843-08:002018-03-04T15:13:47.843-08:00Did you get to see anyone when you were there?Did you get to see anyone when you were there?Tom G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15645389548043561479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289116667568040508.post-84687945263547786832018-03-04T14:03:00.452-08:002018-03-04T14:03:00.452-08:00Damn.
