went to thena dare's show on friday at the key club...boy, is she good. she's this amazing singer/songwriter that goes to mosaic. i don't know much about music, but she's awesome...and so great live. the low of the night: we had to wait almost two hours for her to go on...dunno what the hold-up was, but toward the end, i was getting tired. the high of the night: besides finally getting to hear her perform (a great set), the bacon brothers were playing upstairs, so after thena's show, cal, jesse, and i decided to see what they were like...as i said before, i dunno much about music, but...i was almost embarrassed for them. i mean, it wasn't like they were singing or playing off-key, and they had a band that seemed to have decent musicians, tho they were all probably well over 40, but...i was thinking, these people don't even know it (it was a packed crowd), but the real deal is downstairs. esther hit the nail on the head when we were talking the next morning...we were talking about how many truly talented people are out there, and how hard it is to make it in the industry, and she said that's why it's so frustrating that there are so many non-talented "artists" that make it...but once again, i dunno much about music, so who am i to really judge?
anyways, it was interesting. kevin bacon was sporting this kurt cobain-ish grunge look (shoulder-length hair in a ponytail and all), and he was really into it...running around the stage and everything...it was...entertaining? cal, jesse and i were just looking at each other with these incredulous looks, and the minute we got out of there, we just had to laugh. good times, good times...
