Well... tonight I went to see the Dark Star Orchestra... aka the biggest con of all time! The band sounds like the Dead, but lets be honest mad not them. I was never a huge fan. Sure I liked a few tracks anyone who understands the blues and rock does.
I saw a few things that didnt make sense. First of all, there were people in suits. Isn't that the first hippie no-no. Don't be confined by clothes that people tell you to wear.
Second, I saw a girl wearing a hippie top, a hippie skirt and NIKE's... Are you serious? Being someone so focused on political freedom and wearing Nike's is like someone against drugs and liberalism taking Oxicontin (hi Mr. Limbaugh).
However the weirdest thing was that people went to see a bunch of dudes and one girl play/sing some elses tracks... can anyone explain that to me? A cover band sold out Irving Plaza. Now I will give them credit for what they do becuase there is an obvious demand for it. If you don't know anything about them, what the do is play a Dead show from start to finish, note for note. The audience gets there and doesnt know which of their endless shows it can be from start to finish. So thats cool i guess, it just wasnt really my scene.
Now, I'm just working on keeping myself dry and warm... almost too much too ask on a night like tonight, but do your best. Buenas noches....
