The best band ever

While I was catching up on email and whatnot, I realized that I didn't mention a show I saw a few weeks ago. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers were in Omaha last month. It was only the second time I saw them, but I've got to say the show was incredible. Roger Clyne is the former lead singer of The Refreshments.

The show was great. Roger Clyne has this gimick where people in the audience where hats and he'll take the hat from a fan and wear it for a song or two. He also played a ton of Refreshments songs, which was good.

Check out Roger Clyne's web page and go see them if they're in your area. Trust me, it will be worth it.

On the other hand, I caught a Show Is The Rainbow show this weekend and I think I've finally had it with Darren. His shows used to be a great work of art based on audience participation and just a bunch of crazy people having a great time. Now he's nothing but a political hack pushing an anti-Bush message (with videos and all) and he won't be seeing anymore of my money. Too bad; I really thought the guy had potential. He gave up all of his originality and has now joined the league of generic political guys.

When will the entertainers get it? People don't want to get partisan politics at rock shows! We want entertainment; entertain us! Don’t preach at us.
