Happy New Year, Train Army. We look forward to another year of
delivering our message to our faithful followers and perhaps beyond.
The message:
All we are saying is give peace a chance. And, uh, FUCK BUSH.
We are delighted that Miles of Music, a wonderful on-line distributor
for great music, has decided to feature Mesopotamia Blues on their
website.
Check it out: http://store.milesofmusic.com/J/John_Train/50168.html
Please buy the cd from these guys and look at all the other cool music
they offer while you're at it.
Ok. We're back at Fergie's. Every Friday starting on January 18, 2008.
6-8PM. Free. To continue this insanity we need your support. So come
on out. Tell your friends (and enemies).
Here's my top 5 of the year:
1. Neil Young -- Ordinary People: this
is the old Neil. Unforgiving and angry. Listen to him cackle the line
about
the "alcoholic" people. Sinister stuff.
2. Stoner by John Williams:
This book was out of print forever. Get it while you can. A truly
bleak tale. Sort of a prototype for, say, Richard Yates. Nothing to do
with drugs, however.
3. Elvis Costello opening for Bob Dylan in
Hartford: EC stole the show by playing mostly new material including a
great one called "From Sulphur to Sugar Cane" which was apparently
co-written with T-Bone Burnett. Of course, Bob stole it back with a
stunning version of "Nettie Moore" (my favorite track on Modern Times)
4. Raft trip with Butch Hancock on the Rio Grande: sign up for next
year at
www.farflungoutdoorcenter.com Jodi and I will be there again!
5. The
Grateful Dead: I was real suspicious of these guys. But, come on, how
can you deny Terrapin Station? I've crossed the Weir line.
