Subject: MM: RE re re re NPC (how did this start?) I have to agree wholeheartedly here: I ran into the same response over on the ecto list, when I dared criticise Phil Collins (I actually started out defending him, pleading that people see his story as a tragedy). Someone on the list wrote admonishing me for such a stance, and providing sales figures to prove that I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I pointed out that, according to sales figures, the Sun (a right-wing, slightly more sophisticated and credible version of the National Enquirer, with tits) is the biggest selling paper in Britain, and that Bananarama were the biggest selling female group of all time. I also felt I had to point out that the whole point of lists like ecto were that we were supposed to be appreciating and hunting out music that was OUT of the mainstream and not dictated by sales. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 14:33:15 -0500 From: "Pingel Wynter L" Subject: [none] I say if you like someone's music. llisten to it. If not, don't. And thanks to whoever brought up Jason Mraz! I'd never heard of him before but I went to the website. One song and I'm hooked!

The ACL Music Festival is not quite wrapped up but this crispy cowboy had to head for the shade...I hope everyone that made it had as much fun as I did :) The crowds were great, the music was great, the lines sucked, especially Saturday, but they'll do better next year I'm sure Yesterday, I honestly thought that Patty was in the best form of her three Austin shows this year...Doug Lancio was absent (Patty said his wife just gave birth in Nashville), and his replacement wasn't much of a presence but I thought the sound was just great and the performance was otherwise superb! Too short a set (just over an hour) but a great one nonetheless...she also mentioned that John Mellencamp has stolen Michael Ramos away...he was with her at the show but I guess will be leaving the band. Personally I'm ready to see her with a full band, maybe this will start her in that direction. Lucky me and my girl, today we plunked it down dead center, 20 feet away from the "Texas Stage" and stayed all afternoon. Kelly Willis sounded super, I've been partial to her for years. After that Shawn Colvin, then (yay!) we got treated to an unscheduled set by Robert Earl Keen...after a duet with Shawn he did a short set that was just a gas, the crowd ate it up, it was great to see him. His guitar player, Rich Brotherton, is a piece of work, the man can play. Shawn's set was great, I've always admired her but seeing her play like that (it was just her and her guitar) made me appreciate her all the more. Jimmie Vaughan finished it off, he had Lou Ann Barton out there and it was just a blast. We boogied. Shawn played a great song called "Killing the Blues" that was my favorite performance of the show...btw, you guys, we're probably doing it again next year, get down here! It won't be so hot next time and they'll get all the kinks worked out, honest! Plus they got all year to book it, it's gonna be incredible! _________________________ from Killing the Blues, by Roly Salley...
