Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins concert last night. Pretty good…at first. Loud tunes were great, fast tunes were great; the slow ones seemed a little off kilter. Not sure if it’s when they were presented, or how low they were brought down, but they didn’t seem to be working very well. And then…
Well, let me say this. It’s one thing for the chorus of a song to be “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” That’s fine, it’s become a colloquialism, it’s just one little bit of a good song (similar to a random “may god’s love be with you…” in an otherwise awesome Joseph Arthur song), I can “get past it” you know.
But It’s another thing to bust into an entire bible-banging song about the river being cold in the Jordan, and Jesus by your side to comfort you.
Helloooo, I didn’t buy a ticket to a PRAYER MEETIN’, yo.
