A story about Patterson Hood
At the DBT only show in KC during the 2006 Black Crowes tour, Patterson Hood kissed my hand. OMG. Seriously, I was a little 16 year old girl again, getting wet over Kurt Cobain. FUCK!

A story about Joe Cocker
He’s a member of the World Watusi Association, a cattle organization. My mother is also a member, and I’ve met Joe exactly once in almost twenty years.
A story about Sage Francis
I went to my first Sage show in 2002, one of the last “Personal Journals” tour dates. His backup band had just dropped off the last couple of shows, and Sage was forced to either cancel his shows or tough it out and rhyme old school – to a CD of his beats.
I’ve seen him twice more since then, and every time it’s better than the last. I’ve hugged Sage, he signed my Personal Journals CD, I’ve seen him in boxers and grinding a middle-aged woman on the dance floor.
I completely understand Sage’s irritation at those last few ‘02 shows, but I have to say that every Sage show I’ve been to is amazing; his energy, passion, and intelligence speak far more than whatever backup beats or bands he has. The man could stand up and do spoken word all night long, and his shows would still be amazing.
Stay cool, and keep writing Sage.
A story about ZZ Top
I went to a show of theirs at the Missouri State Fair three or four years ago. My friend’s mother was the manager of the fair, and we (+20 others) all got to meet ZZ Top and shake their hands after the show. It was very organized, clinical, and completely fucked up.
