The Wallflowers...Jacob Dylan!!

Wow. The Wallflowers open for one of my favorite artists? BONUS!! From the moment as my daughter Alexandra's friend Meghann Hoyle has said "The spawn of Bob Dylan" stepped on stage my eyes started flowing tears of joy. If you search back in the blog you can read the story of when I took them to the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach to see the Wallflowers and that was some show! Back to last night...If you click the link above you see the new album. I bought the vinyl last night. Why? "Glad All Over?" Are you kidding me? I was a very young kid in the 1960's. My aunt Jane lived with us in Greenwood, Mississippi for a while and she had all these cool albums. One of them was the Dave Clark Five "Glad All Over" I remember so well. Here is the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EipdAjhImrc I just thought that was too damn cool when that played as the lights dropped last night. I wondered how many people got that...At any rate as the song progressed and the hits kept coming from the stage I hear the guys behind me go "Hey they are pretty good." I heard that again in another song and finally I turned around and said " You know who that is right?" They had no idea. I said that is Jacob Dylan as in Bob's son...they suddenly lit up and said awesome!! I think they were instant fans then. This band is really cool. I loved every track they played.I hope I get to see them all alone in a small venue soon. They are so good.

They played some hits last night. But I waited for my favorite. It came and I loved it. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzyfcys1aLM

The best wine don't touch these lyrics played live. 'Nuff said.

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
With the long broken arm of human law
Now, it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place
Hey...

Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

Come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

Well, this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
