weezer - My Name Is Jonas (live)

Recorded on 11/27/1994 in Rochester, NY. Immortalized on the original Buddy Holly single.

I’m amazed that anyone is ever amazed that this band has become one of the most successful bands of my generation. Just listen to this. It’s a perfect song performed by a young band that was riding its first wave of success… and you can hear it in every note.

Keepin’ the riffraff out of Canada

natalydawn:

I am very sorry to say that I will not be performing in Toronto this evening. We were stopped at the border and sent back to the United States last night, despite our official documentation.

So I’ll be doing a live webcast in Rochester tonight. It’s the least I can do to make up for not being there in person. It’ll just be me in front of a webcam, playing some songs on my little parlor guitar. I wish I could make the Stageit show free but their platform doesn’t allow that, so it’s going to be pay what you want (10 cent minimum). I’ll be performing a couple new songs, and to make up for that 10-cent charge I’ll send everyone a free acoustic track.

Just to be perfectly clear, I love all of my Canadian fans and still wish that I could be there tonight. But it looks that won’t be happening. At least not until one of you proposes to me.

Nataly Dawn is unexpectedly in Rochester tonight and the best we’ll be able to do is watch her on the web. I bet we could easily find a place for her to play within a few hours and get enough fans in the door to put some gas money in her pocket.

Damn.

High-res You can’t make this shit up. “Since when are Scottish Bag Pipers, that represent the notorious Black Watch Highlanders, allowed to participate in our parades? Now they even are allowed the honor of leading the funeral processions, in many cases, and ironically, for our deceased Veterans. Our American history teaches us that these Scots helped the English fight our American Colonists, killing tens of thousands of our people, during the Revolutionary War. My family had not one, but several, ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War to help create our country. This is why, when I see these guys blowing into those “doodle sacks” sounding like cats fighting, I become very disgusted that so little respect is shown for our early American history.” I’ve been reading the “Brighter Side/I Gotta Vent” page of the Penny Saver every week for as long as I can remember, because there is usually some pretty epic “Get off my lawn!” “Dey took err jahhbs!” whinery happening, but this person took it to a whole new level. I suppose if the worst thing you have to vent about is the fact that people aren’t paying their due respects to your colonial heritage, then your life must be pretty damn great overall.

High-res GPOYW History suggests that I’m more likely to crash when driving reasonably on a warm, clear, and dry night in May than when taking pictures of myself while driving 50mph on freezing, slick, snow-covered highways in the dead of winter. Anyway. I’m glad everyone around me was being considerate and leaving the Subaru/Audi/Jeep lane open for those of us who are more confident in ourselves and our vehicles. Or… maybe they saw some crazy guy taking pictures while driving through heavy lake-effect snow and decided to save themselves by giving him plenty of space. Either way. *shrug*
