does jess listen intently at your gigs, FDB? is she perhaps star-struck? or merely one of the finest and most incisive critics of popular music this – or any other – generation is likely to produce?

Genderation Y #257, how does your argument square with the frequent presence of jeff Buckley on the list and the absence of Status Quo?

…I’m guessing it wasn’t the song that Down and Out linked to way back at #62.

But I’d shop at Coles in a heartbeat if they started using it!

Katz, the other day all the shelf stackers at Coles were singing along with the same song and after it ended on the P.A. they all kept going. Damned if I can remember which song it was though.

According to this chap living in New York City, this happened recently:

Leaving the Paul McCartney concert — fantastic show, BTW — at CitiField (NYC), the oddest thing happened: I was heading to the trains, shuffling along with this immense post show crowd. To get to my train, I have to go up a long wide flight of stairs, then thru an enclosed above ground elevated subway station where the 7 line runs. The multitudes were slowly moving thru the mass transit walkways like cows being led to slaughter.

In the midst of this, a small group of people began singing “Can’t Buy Me Love.”

Just 3 or 4 at first. Then a few others joined them, then a few more. In a matter of seconds — less than a full verse — 100s were singing. Next thing you know THE ENTIRE CROWD IS SINGING TOGETHER.

It was surreal, like in a movie where people spontaneously break out into song.

Damnedest thing you ever saw…

I hope Japerz caught the show.

I don’t understand all the angst and anger over this. Could there possibly be any cultural invention that celebrates hairy, testosterone-dripping, sweating, vodka-swilling, drug-gobbling masculinity more than Rock Music? There are plenty of great women who are also great rockers, but they are so rare.

‘Feminine’ Rock? YUK!

Rock Music is by definition masculine.

You better get used to it, so you don’t get fooled again.
