widespread hippies

just got an assignment from the greeley trib to cover the widespread panic show in loveland tomorrow night.

yippee.

at least i get to leave early--deadline at 10 pm.

no, i have great respect for those guys as musicians, they are certainly talented individuals. it's just that to me, that type of music is so played. it hasn't been remotely interesting for decades. when bands first started experimenting with longer form, improvisational styles, it was just that: experimental. now it all seems so calculated. so so so many bands noodling for hours in endless loops of forever unresolved chords. no wonder people get so high for these shows--that's the only way it would be remotely enjoyable.

will have more to report on my foray into the jungles of hippiedom tomorrow night after the show.

now these guys--these guys ROCK! (for the lord.)
