Ok so I'm going to see Kip Winger. I don't know jack sh#t about his solo work. I'm going primarily to support and listen to Tony Lee, a local guy who's work doesn't match his audience. His debut cd was really great. I'd love to see him put together a band and play regularly.
So I want to hear 17 and Headed for a Heartbreak. anyone who says they didn't enjoy heavy metal is a prententioous ass. It was fun. It was decadent; it was over the top; it was flamoyant; and it was cool. What's wrong with that?
Sometimes music is about meaning and sometimes it's about entertainment. In the best case it can be both but that almost always fails. Witness Springsteen's Hungry Heart and Dancing in the Dark. the music is entertaining and word have meaning but they appear ridiculous when put together. Much like the heavy metal clothes.
Rock on. If you're there early make sure you listen to Tony - I know I will be.
and so the f what I'm going to Fleetwood Mac on Sunday. So what?
