Might be the best rock band name out there.

If you don't know why, look it up. It's a doozy!

Tom Petty and Roger McGuinn share the same voice.

I love this stuff:

Yeah, the Minders are one of the better Elephant Six Collective bands. Very consistent. I also love Beulah and Elf Power’s first few records.

 

[HooperDrivesTheBoat]

This one gets me.

Same. I finished his book not long ago. Just a brilliant musician.

It's taken a while to sink in, but I'd like to say a few things about Sinead. I first became aware of her at the old Spit/Axis club. A DJ there one night played Mandinka off The Lion and The Cobra, and I was hooked. That wailing, the warbling, the emotion, the roughness that could quickly turn to her voice ringing like a bell. I bought the CD the next day.

Then she did a Prince tune. I thought she sold out, but no, it was heart wrenchingly beautiful, and though Prince wrote the lyrics (obviously), it was her song the whole way. She belonged to the world now, much to my chagrin, not to mention her detriment.

Then she ripped up a picture, and the world punished her. Time has certainly been on her side, and not the world's. She already knew what we would eventually find out. She was funny like that.

You see, the world wanted a pop star, and Sinead was a punk. Right up to the end. The record company wanted a pretty Irish girl, she shaved her head. Ireland wanted a muse, she gave it the finger. She was brash and bold, and broken, but that was her strength. Fragile like a flower, but with a backbone of steel. We knew she was crazy, she knew she was crazy, but God damn it, she was right.

And through it all, was that voice, from a whisper to a scream. It always brings me back to a time when I was also flipping the bird to the world, and she was my soundtrack. Rest in Power, brave one.

One of my favorites:

I was at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert at MSG in 1992 when she was booed off stage (due to her ripping up the picture on SNL). I vividly remember Kris Kristofferson gently admonishing the crowd. I felt bad for her. I was 16 at the time and my primary reason for going was to see Tom Petty. But man what a show.

RIP Sinead

PS her duet with Shane MacGowan on Haunted was great.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Yeah, the Minders are one of the better Elephant Six Collective bands. Very consistent. I also love Beulah and Elf Power’s first few records.

Awesome to see a fellow Elephant Six fan. I'm just starting to explore the Minders. Beulah did some fantastic stuff, I agree. Elf Power, too.

Hoping to pick up a Joni Mitchell box set soon. This is a live version of one of my favorites.
