so cal gig spamHello--
It's me again.  Well, I said I'd go see the people who were playing in the
area, so I went to see Steuart at the Knitting Factory.
I expected music.  I heard nothing but self indulgent noise.  Self
congratulatory posturing.  I spent good money to be entertained, and check
out a fellow looper.  Now, I believe Steuart can play.  I just didn't get a
chance to hear any music.
The bad part was, we went to the Getty Museum earlier in the day, and saw
art.  Real art.  The art we experienced at the Knitting Factory was
basically crap.
I noodle.  Hey loopers--we all noodle.  This was crap.
I stayed until near what I certainly hope was the end.  No time, no melody
(although there was some singing--gotta give credit where credit is
due--both female vocalists were capable of singing--but except for Ann's
song about her cat and Anna's glossolalia--no melody) and, hey Steuart,
virtually no looping.
Very much the Emperor's new art.
Gary
