RADIOHEAD @ Hollywood Bowl
Friday night, September 26, 2003
My friends, Radiohead live is awe inspiring. My writing would only detract from the reader's appreciation of last night's performance. Therefore, allow me to list some descriptive words that the reader might utilize in their own imagination. The reader can then say to himself (I assure you) "Wow, that was awesome".

Allow me to close with a comment from a man who is paid to be critical of music and musicians
By now it's well-established: There is rock and there is prog-rock and there is art-rock and there is what the music press has termed "new rock" – and then there is Radiohead, embodying all of them, beholden to none. Love 'em or leave 'em. ~~ Ben Weiner, O.C. RegisterPosted by jeremystock at September 27, 2003 11:51 PM | TrackBack

Posted by: jeremy at September 29, 2003 12:04 AMGlad that you guys had a good time! As a wise man once said, "Sheeeesh. Must be nice..."
And I can't believe that you said 'hella cool'.

Review of the show and other fun info.
It seems that Thom was a lot more talkative in San Diego then friday night at the Hollywood Bowl.
Thom and Johnny were on KROQ this morning doing some acoustic stuff. I missed it. Would have loved to have heard it. Anybody get it on tape?
Ever get tempted to jump in a 1973 Volkswagen bus and follow Radiohead around the country, selling beads and sex to earn ticket money?
Okay, maybe the selling sex part was a little bit extreme. But the rest sounds like a great idea. ;-)
Wayne, sweetness and I will be at your place in about 4 days. Be ready!

And I guess it's no longer a secret, so...

I said the same thing about the "hella cool." I read the post out loud to Jeremy and then when I got to that part I just could not stop laughing. It just doesn't sound like him to say that. So, we can see that Jeremy learned SOME things from teaching in the inner city.
Wayne Oh,
I should have known you'd pick up the bottle again. Good to see you back "ON-line"
May I link to you?

"Hella cool"? Incongruous with my personality?... yo ain't hurd nuttin yet! fo sheezo!
:-)
Posted by: jeremy at October 1, 2003 12:56 PMYes, feel free to link away, but I would appreciate the removal of my last name.
And apparently it is a good thing that I moved away. That way I don't have to watch Jer deteriorate into a jive-talkin' 7th grader. Law school that tough, eh? :-)
