I know that new lists frequently have trouble keeping momentum. So, seeing as how it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm awake, I figured i'd be the perfect person to help fix that. Anybody have any interesting kennedys stories to tell? Cool things that happened at shows? My favourite thing is getting to talk with the kennedys after a show. They were so nice after all three shows I've seen. I got to discuss 21+ clubs, The Nields, and Dar with pete and maura after the asheville show. That impressed me. One of the coolest things about folk music is the accessability of the artists. I love that after you've been to a few shows they know your name (not that the kennedys know my name...but the nields and efo do, and that is just as cool). And they know it in a good way, not in a "let me remember this so if i need to call the police later i can tell them" kind of way. Folk musicians love their fans, and for that I love them. I love the kennedys for that, but i also love them for their music. It is rare for music to be optimistic anymore. The kennedys manage that though. They put me in a good mood. They're great to bring me up from a bad mood, and equally as great for keeping me in a good mood that i'm already in. They're good for every occasion. There are about a zillion reasons why I love the kennedys. What are yours? yay kennedys! - -rhiannon - ----------------------------------- "I sold my computer for a used acoustic guitar" - -the nields! - ----------- my homepage: http://www.unca.edu/~rcrichar/ - ----------------------------------- check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.kennedysmusic.com/ ------------------------------ End of jangle-poets-digest V2 #7 ********************************
