Yes, missy we do need to keep a sense of perspective
(and am sorry to hear about your personal family
loss), but I join lists such as this one to learn
about the new records, gigs and what not.

To read a  lot of volleys about financing rock and
roll is a digression that not only distracts from the
topic at hand.... the ACTUAL MUSIC....  but it gets
into areas where people have opinions -- which they
are all certainly entitled to --- but our opinons
really are not a hill of beans, nor are specific and
momentary cultural concerns such as THe Church.  Eons
and millenia have already passed and what do we
remember from the past?
What sustains?  What survives is anybody's guess.
VIncent Van Gogh sold nothing while he was alive and
it was his brother that carried on Vincent's legacy.

WHen Steve Kilbey dies of an overdose, when Marty
WIllson Piper collapses and croaks from exhaustion,
when Peter Koppes gets old and dies and when TIm
Powels explodes as all drummers do......  Who is going
to carry on what is really the Church?  Do the Church
even know what their legacy will be?  Nah.  Will we
even have CDs in the future and will their music make
it to the next format?

That's why I don't like reading threads about how
great this band is - and facetious or not -- that
everyone should kowtow and pay them and grant them big
money....

I really would rather read about how people are
reacting to the songs, hearing reports of set lists
and how the gigs were... which don't get written about
as much as I would like to see.  I HATE IT when I read
something that makes me squikked enough to diabtribe
back.

ANyhoo.... looking forward to Bowery Ballroom and
hoping that the last Bowery happening isn't repeated.
