Ramble On
Tributosaurus ROCKED last night. From Good Times Bad Times to Your Time is Gonna Come, they were fucking ON. These guys don't do the cheesy "dress like the band and play the MSG show from 1973"... they play the fucking tunes and play them just like the record.They brought out guest musicians throughout the night, and the best (next to Buzz Kilman on harmonica for Poor Tom) was when members of the CSO came out for The Rain Song and Kashmir. I think there were 2 cellos and 3 violins, and they were rocking. During Kashmir, a violin guy stepped out a bit in front of the others... that must mean he was the best player or something. He was good, but there were enough nerdy white guys in the band already. The violin girls were awesome and really cute... the one in back was rocking the fuck out, swaying in her rockstar pants.
After a hilarious REO Speedwagon fakeout, Tributosaurus announced that next month they become The Monkees. Think I'll skip that one...

I saw on their website that they did a tribute to Steely Dan.
Now there's a show that would have rocked!
Tributosaurus is amazing... their musicianship is spot on. I'm sure they did/do a great job playing Steely Dan.
But a Steely Dan show rocking? Those words don't belong in the same sentence! Perhaps it would be a different story of they "become" Basia, though...
Viva Bob Vila here. I have to agree with ryerson. Steely Dan should be filed under Easy Listening. That "how's about a kiss from your cousin Dupree" song creeps me out big time. Nasty bastards!
Say, remember that time we went to the Yaffa Cafe on St. Mark's? Little did we know that we were across the street from a major Zep landmark. The building across from Yaffa is on the cover of Physical Graffiti! Just had that pointed out to me last night.
Holy shit! Next time I come to NYC, you gotta take me there. Who finally pointed that out to you? Mmmm, Yaffa.
F Steely Dan!
My friend Lisa brought it to my attention. Lisa is rock 'n roll. She regularly crashes at the Ramones loft. Next time you are in NYC- you got it. When will that be?
I'd love to visit NYC again, but I don't know when I could. Anyway, I think you're due to hit Chicago. We can go to Margie's, where The Beatles ate ice cream back in the '60s.
