Several weeks prior to this performance my girlfriend and I went to the old RCKNDY music venue in Portland, Oregon to see Soul Asylum with the Lemonheads and the Jayhawks. My girlfriend was all giddy about seeing Evan Dando perform. When we got there the Jayhawks were already onstage and we made a beeline for the beer garden. While I was waiting to place an order she tapped me on the shoulder with some urgency and whispered very loudly in my ear: “Oh, my God! He’s right behind us!” Sure enough, standing at the edge of the beer garden with a brew in one hand and a cigarette in the other was Evan Dando. He was bopping his head to the music with the loopiest grin on his face and as Jehovah is my witness, wearing the same outfit that he wore on Letterman- complete with that brightly-colored faux-fur parka. She even bummed a smoke off of him which he gladly gave up and continued grooving to the Jayhawks. Later on the Lemonheads tore up the stage with a stellar performance that help set the tone for Soul Asylum. True story. Honest.
@@gar137 I ran away to Hollywood in 96 when I was 16. I used to see pat smear walking along sunset Blvd all the time with his gf. Would say hi pat and he always smiled and said hi back. Once I was deep down Melrose waking one night at like 4am and saw Beck with a back pack on walking with a friend. Didn't say shit. Hollywood was weird back then. Had lots of weird encounters with men trying to hook up with me. The weirdest encounter was I was waking by Tower records and this well dressed guy got locked out of his car and I helped him get into it with a coat hanger. For some reason I ended up at his house and he was in the music business and told me how Kurt Cobain was bi and had seen him giving a guy head. Thank God I ended up just hanging out and he drove me home in one piece. On a lighter note I used to give this homeless guy who I would see all over West Hollywood money to buy me porn magazines.
Rosanne youre a fucking hollywood legend my friend. What a cool ass story!! You ever thought about telling em and uploading the stories to RU-vid? Id sure subscribe haha
"Right before music got really bad and the internet." Yet here we are viewing it on the internet watching it. And thanks to You Tube we can again see great stuff like this. But yeah, Matterhune, I'll agree that most modern stuff is disposable cr@p. My now 75-year-old father calls the 1990s "The last great era of music" (secretly he liked Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.) Some good bands emerged in the early 2000s: White Stripes, early Coldplay, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie, Vampire Weekend, Cage the Elephant, etc. But much of today's stuff makes atrocities like "We Built This City", "Disco Duck", "Escape, the Pina Colada Song", "Kokomo", "Don't Worry, Be Happy", and "We Didn't Start the Fire" seem downright tolerable.
The test of time. This song endures. One of the best since the birth of rock and roll. And I'm so old my first rock song I ever heard was I Want to Hold Your Hand. The first thing on the radio that got my attention was Hey Jude, in 1968. Dando is fiercely underrated.
100% ...he is so underrated...and in terms of writing perfect pop rock that has a soul...he was on a par with Kurt Cobain during this era, but overlooked in terms of his original songs
This is my all-time favourite version! What a great time in music ‘92 was. Letterman had all the best bands on weekly. I saw Nirvana in Melbourne Australia in January ‘92 and for me that was where it all began.
I wanna time travel back to the summer of my youth- all the mystery's and the adventures ahead- and nothing in between but a fools lust for living an entire life in just one moment
One friend knew some girls from a town over, we went and picked them up. Another friend had a brother in college radio and put in a tape. First song was the first time any of us heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. We drove around, 3 guys and 3 girls in my big Olds and listened to the song over and over all night and life was never the same again.
how many acoustic guitars does one song need? apparently 1, 2, 3 and then the additional electric rhythm, so . . . many. many, many, MANY acoustic guitars all doing the same part. I can imagine the sound mixer just going "What. How many you want? Three? Three big-body acoustic guitars . . . all doing the same part? And where do you suggest I place these guitars in the mix? Just everywhere? Check. Gotcha. It'll be great." moderation and musical temperance -- not something the early '90s were famous for. probably beats Cyndi Lauper, though. (though not if she's doing _Time After Time,_ that song fucking rules, man!!)
It’s a Shame About Ray Lyrics I've never been too good with names The cellar door was open, I could never stay away I know it's probably not my place It's either-or, I'm hoping for a simple way of saying It's a shame about Ray In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved Some things need to go away It's a shame about Ray (Put it away) If I make it through today I'll know tomorrow, not to leave my feelings out on display I'll put the cobwebs back in place I've never been too good with names, but I remember faces It's a shame about Ray In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved Some things need to go away (shame, shame) It's a shame about Ray (Put it away) Source: Musixmatch

Cheers
Ever wondered about the magic behind "It's A Shame About Ray"? Get the inside scoop from Bruce Robb himself as he details the recording process in a fresh interview on "Produce Like A Pro" shot at #CherokeeStudios ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r3_EhLy3iqY.html
I had this song on a constant loop when it came out and it is still in my top 10 favorites. Evan was in top form vocally in this performance and it's the best live version I've seen on RU-vid. The only downside is Paul Shaffer and the band ruined the moment when they tried to sing "Raaaaaaaaaay" between verses. They sounded like a bunch of kids going through puberty.
She is married to Paul Simon who wrote Ms. Robinson, so kind of teasing him by eluding his wife is a great/better song writer. Plus Evan really respects female singer/songwriters.
