John Doe is my new rock n' roll husband. He's taken over for Joe Strummer. Of course, he's third in line, but it's still a place of honor.
What a great show -- I was really not feeling the Monday night event, and Juliana was pretty draggy (can that girl smile?!?! Thank goodness Doe did those three songs with her, or she wouldn't have emoted one bit).
Then X came out, starting with "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline," and it was smoking from then on. Fantastic set list. Did I say I love John Doe, who gets so much enjoyment from playing? And the band was clearly having a good time -- Excene, maybe not so much, but it's all good. "Nausea" was fantastic.
Zoom is getting creepier, though, as he ages. I was right in front of him, and his winking and interaction with the audience is odd. Still love the "spread 'em" stance, but he's definitely a dirty old man these days. I think he was even pointing out girls to get backstage passes to one of the roadies. ANd he came right out in to the audience at the end of the show, instead of leaving the stage. I was sure he was trolling for something....
