I’ve spent my entire life staring in awe at guitarists. I’ve seen Clapton, Trucks, Haynes and Betts, Garcia, Springsteen, Malkmus, King and Guy. I’ve stood and danced and studied as my favorites picked and bent and pulled their way to new dimensions of song and sound, all on the surface of these six-strings. Well, watching [...]

Update: I’ve learned a few things here and there about today’s shows. First off, it turns out that the Dead did originally apply for a permit to play Battery Park, but the city turned them down. That’s how that initial rumor got out there. Also, there was some confusion about them being on Letterman. I’d [...]

I’ve got that tune, stuck in my head, driving my crazy. I lie awake in my bed. The telephone rings. I ain’t answered in days. No one can reach me, when the melody plays. It’s funny how it doesn’t take the best lyrics, the best guitars, the best singing or the best anything else to [...]

While I focused on my job, my trusted surrogate attempted to secure three tickets to his now-sold-out show at the Beacon Theatre on February 19. Sadly, no go. Whatever tickets had survived the fan club presale were long gone within 10 minutes. Bummer. [...]
Dead Success – Miracle Edition

Too much of everything is just enough… One more thing I just got to say, I need a miracle every day. Wow. That was painful. I don’t know that it’s ever taken me 40 minutes to get concert tickets. Honestly, after about 20 I usually give up, assuming the show has sold out. This time, [...]
