Saw Tejas music legend Joe Ely last night in a nice little outdoor ampitheatre. Rock rock rock, great great great, blah blah blah, why am I leaving Austin, etc. etc. etc.

I appreciate you cutting down on your long diatribes regarding rock and roll, live shows, leaving Austin, and Jay's mom. Wait. You forgot the part about Jay's mom.

You're slipping, Rowland.

Man, I love stories like this:

"When you listen to 'Should I Stay or Should I Go,' there's a place in the song where Mick says, 'Split.' Me and Strummer had been yelling out the Spanish background lyrics and we had snuck up behind him as he was recording. We were behind a curtain, jumped out at him in the middle of singing, and scared the shit out of him. He looks over and gives us the dirtiest look and says, 'Split!' They kept that in the final version."

Great story! Did Ian get his cast off?

Jay said...

Yeah! He just has to wear a brace now when he plays outside.

And a harness when flying from slides.
