I'm fine with Outlaw Pete. The only other Pete in all of Springsteen is the guy he dedicates "Hard to be a Saint in the City" to on Hammersmith. ("This one's for Pete!")

Interestingly, when I was six months old, I too had done three months in jail. I don't like to talk about it.

I'm fine with Hazy Davy, especially in comparison with Outlaw Pete.

Dave, I think you mighta just scored yourself a new (obvious) nickname with this comment, to be used in all future blog posts referencing the former Dave from Wings for Wheels.

I like the idea of you being called Outlaw Pete.

Funny that you should mention Indigo Girls - they're very high on my list of artists that I love and haven't seen - hopefully I will take care of that this year. Came really close to seeing 'em last year in Columbus, but had to bail at the last minute. Annie really enjoyed that Neko Case show last week - I saw Neko earlier this year and was underwhelmed by the show that I saw, but I think it might have been an off night. Planning to catch another Neko show one of these days.

Understandable...Las week I should have been at Neko Case on Thursday and Son Volt on Friday when they played at The Pageant, but I wasn't. You should get your friend Annie to score you some tickets. Over the years at the Fox I have seen Robert Plant, Bob Dylan (twice), Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan, Tom Waits, Springsteen and probably more. Great venue!

Too many concerts, not enough time or $ sometimes :-) That being said, I definitely should have been out there for Devils and Dust. The show that you saw definitely looks stellar. I would have loved to have heard Nothing Man and Cynthia!!

Also, I am looking forward to hopefully catching a show at the Fox sometime soon - it sounds like a great venue.

Matt - can't believe you didn't catch the Devils and Dust tour! I saw him at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis in 2005. He performed "Backstreets" solo on the piano! I have a review of the show on my blog.

You know, I said that completely tongue in cheek, but now that you mention it....

Nice find, Matt. Thx. Hey, do I count as your "international acclaim"?

Camera Obscura also do a sweet cover of Super Trouper that's worth seeking. They played Columbus back in July and did a great show.

Good call. As a lover of all things Cowboy Junkies, I can get behind that thought.

They did this first on Vic Galloway Radio Scotland show, brilliant! Anyone else thinking Cowboy Junkies?
