Pet Peeve

[[e-mail] (Noah Tall)]

Yesterday I was listening to an Emmylou Harris concert and I was
reminded of why she irritates me, : ) but secondly why her "supposed"
fans are even more annoying.

Although its not ONLY at her concerts, whenever the band started a new
song, there always seems to be an instantaneous eruption of applause,
as though half the audience knows after a few notes some old
"standard" of hers that she's about to sing for them. The annoying
thing is at the concert I was listening to, there were close to half a
dozen soongs she'd never recorded before ! : ) I guess Jane Fonda
isn't the only woman who figured out there was money to be made by
staying in shape. : )

Just emphasizes why I've always taken issue with her and her fans.
Country music for people who don't like or know Country music. 10,000
old hippies still in search of John Lennon, tripping at the altar of
Emmylou for the simple reason Linda Ronstadt didn't go for the plastic
surgery and just got fat and retired.

I'd bet there's more pot and bald ponytails at an Emmylou Harris
concert, than any concerts since the Grateful Dead. :)

What a joke !

old hippies

About five years ago my daughter and son in law took me to a Slade
Cleaves concert.
it was one of several concerts held every year in a small concert hall
in the Carnegie Museum.
It is sponsored by the Calliope Folk Artist Series. They have had Emmy
Lou there, I never went to see her.
Anyhow, at the Slade Cleaves concert, I saw more 50-ish women with
dry, gray hair down to, at least, their shoulder blades
than I have ever at one gathering.
I always thought if Emmy Lou did away with the gray look, these older
ladies would rush to do the same.

Someone gave me a Mark Knofler-Emmy Lou cd a while back, it was
pretty good, I taped my favorite song from it following a song she did
with Roy Orbison years earlier and put it on a cassette. (That lovin'
you feelin'). Don't know much about her exceptin' she's Emmylou
Harris.
much about her, tho.
