In case anyone missed it, and judging by the attendance at every Sonar function and the listening audience of most Marylanders not owning Sirius or an Ipod, the Black Crowes are coming to town and they are playing...yep Sonar. I know...how the mighty have fallen, aye?
"But Bret, the Black Crowes?" "Dude, come on I like Oasis...don't imagine for a second that I don't have crappy shitty music ties to the past."
And the Black Crowes are a part of that ensemble. They are a part of my ultimate nostalgia tour. They won't be closing my line-up, nor opening, but damned if they aren't in there with a strong 6 song set. Let me see if I can find some Crowes that you may not have heard but that you can appreciate a little.
This is my birthday present to me - because finally - this will be the year that I spend my birthday completely alone. I live by myself. I eat by myself. And now I can buy tickets to a concert and just go by myself for my birthday. Tue Aug 7 I'll be hanging out with all the mullets and requesting that they play "the new stuff" or "the old stuff" it's all good to me, because it's all nostalgia.
Soul Singin:
Thorn in my pride:
Down on the Street - Oasis and The Crowes - - how bout that
My Favorite Crowes song - Seeing Things (they'll never play it live again though) - you'll need to turn up the volume.
A hundred years will never ease Hearing things I wont believe I saw it with my own two eyes All the pain that I cant hide And this pain starts in my heart And this love tears us apart You wont find me bent down on my knees Aint bendin over backwards baby Not to please
cause Im seeing things for the first time Im seeing things for the first time, oh yeah Im seeing things for the first time In my life, in my life
I used to dream Of better days that never came Sorry aint nothin to me Im gone and thats the way it must be So please Ive done my time Lovin you is such a crime You wont fine me down on, on my knees Wont fine me over backwards baby Just to please
And this is what we all want anyway - She Talks to Angels - Acoustic from 91' God I was 11 and it was the summer when this came out. I remember being at YMCA camp and running home to watch MTV so I could watch this video and sing it. At 11 the Crowes were I think... and I never even thought about it...my first contemporary band that I loved.
