Sounds like a pretty cool movie to me...perhaps "too good" for MST3K.

Elizabeth looked a lot like my friend Jen from college, especially in
profile.  Meredith, when thanking Robyn for giving him the opportunity to
open, said he had become a big Robyn fan around the time of "Balloon Man,"
but then sort of forgot about him until recently, which struck me as a
poor way to win over more ardent Robyn fans in the audience.  But for all
I know, a lot of the audience were in the same boat.

He opened with Globe of Frogs and also played I Got the Hots, unless I
dreamed that.  Also a blistering cover of Bathory's "Armageddon" ...  The
only guitar thing I remember was that he used the acoustic for every song
except maybe two (?).  He talked a bit about resurrecting Jimi Hendrix to
take over from Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, and pointed out that most
songs are either about summoning or repelling, which he described as "Fuck
me" and "Fuck off!" songs.  "All the great songs are about both.  Or at
least, all of mine are."

Sorry I didn't meet up with any Fegs.  Actually, the only words I said to
anyone the whole night were "Yuengling draft ... thanks."  Which is a
typical night out for me.  I was up fairly near the stage on the right for
a few songs, then I got tired and had to sit in the back for a while, then
had to go stand again when a girl with a cigarette sat next to me.  I
think I saw Dave Derosa, but I'm not positive (it was dark, the last time
I saw him was four years ago, and anyway recognizing people is a social
skill, so I don't have it).  One or two other faces looked sort of
familiar.  Didn't spot Melissa at all.  Thus it was, if memory serves, the
only Robyn show I've ever attended by myself.  I blame Bayard.

 I just got my DVD yesterday of the above, and wow what a great
tribute concert to Gram. The DVD doesn't have a lot of extras on
it, just a commentary from Gram's daughter Polly Parsons who was
the visionary behind the shows last year in Santa Barbara and LA.
Those that performed and are on the DVD include Keith Richards,
Lucinda Williams, John Doe, Norah Jones, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakum,
Kathleen Edwards and Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt fame.

 A must buy for any Gram fan.

Here's a piece from the Springfield Republican in Massachusetts about Robyn
with some interview:

http://www.masslive.com/weekend/republican/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-0/1111567662163431.xml&coll=1

Also, a secret, intimate invite-only show has been announced for Monday
March 28 at 5:00 in Northampton, MA at a place called Bishop's Lounge.  You
can only get invitations by going to http://www.wrsi.com and signing-up or
something.

That show will only have an audience of about 30 I have heard.  It is right
before the proper show at The Iron Horse Music Hall, also in Northampton,
MA which starts at 7:00.  (I know the time well, since I am the opening
act.)

A couple of years ago, I was at a Halloween party in Hollywood and 
Polly showed up. She apparently works as a makeup artist, and her 
"costume" was that she had arranged one of those deals where she was 
topless yet "painted" to look like she was wearing something. Oh my. 
The room just stopped dead when she walked in. DEAD. Very sexy woman.

 Yes, she is very sexy as well in the DVD!

 The concerts were sponsored by MAP, Musicians Assistance Program, and
Polly gave a nice speech about the importance of religion, friends
and family mid-concert and how people should seek them out as alternatives
to drugs. Having lost her father to drugs at the tender age of seven, Polly
seems to have healed after years of grieving over her loss.

Wasn't impressed with the Longet/Beatles mashup, but some of the other 
mashups in that stream are excellent! I'm hearing one right now which 
started with "Good Day Sunshine" vs. "Got to Get You into My Life," and 
it's going all KINDS of interesting places...now I'm hearing "Eight 
Miles High" vs. "I Can See for Miles," with an extra touch of "Groove

nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a

suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and
she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This
time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to

Oy, the smiting has begun!

Still my most loathed act, mainly due to age.  If you were a girl
named Lisa in the '80s (and most of the girls were named Lisa), you
had a room full of Care Bears, rooted for the Houston Astros entirely
based on their rainbow jerseys, and loved Journey.  It's a fact.

I also wonder how many people, like me, thought they had a female
vocalist, and, after seeing their first band photo (but before reading
the caption or accompanying story), *still* thought they had a female
vocalist.

"Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" wasn't too bad though,
