You and Michael know I read these things. What are you trying to do to my
lack of self esteem? You guys keep it up and there won't be a second
Pills'record! And Yeah, Boston is really the greatest. We have such a great
history of art and literature here (among other things). I can walk right
out my door and walk 3 blocks to e.e. cummings' house and then either turn
right at Harvard Sq. to get to Longfellow's beautiful yellow manse, or take
the T to Beacon Hill and see the little flat where Sylvia Plath lived when
she first married Ted Hughes. I can go have a drink in the bar at the
Ritz-where Sylvia
and Anne Sexton used to drink after their poetry class at BU adult ed.
Apparently they used to park in the loading zone with impunity as they had
every intention of getting loaded. I can visit the gross alley where Edgar
Allen Poe was born. I can walk over to the church in the South End that was
the original sight of the Tea Party concert hall. A friend of mine who
drives a city bus told me he saw the Jeff Beck Group there and Rod Stewart
sat down at his table during one of the longer guitar solos. Or I can go to
the Orpheum like I did tonight and see a concert in such a wonderful
acoustic environment that Elvis Costello can have them turn off the PA and
do the last song totally unamplified. And I got to have my picture taken
with him afterwards-which has nothing to do with Boston, but that's where it
happened!
I agree, though I'm not in Boston alot , I love that city..when a friend of
mine went to school there we spent the whole day walking around Boston
enjoying the sights..we got to see Bim Skala Bim play a free show at Faneuil
Hall and meet them afterward, Went to Alston Beat, but did'nt buy
anything($$$) Went to HMV and cruised the World Music section for Latin and
other stuff, and then went accross the Square to Au Bon Pain for eats..only
in Boston, and it is pretty clean, not counting the harbor of course. By the
way I'm WAY jealous that you got to see Elvis Costello at the Orpheum..I
coul'dnt get tickets or a ride in order to go...damnit. At any rate do post
the pic somewhere so we can see it..speaking of other realted things, Has
your band ever covered any of EC's stuff? I always thought that Party Girl,
Accidents Will Happen, or Watching The Detectives would make great
covers...and there are more that escape my memory at this moment.Oh well.
Seth
