He was perfectly capable of holding the crowd enthralled all by himself. The only reason I got into the standing-room section was by showing up for the warm-up act. As he says, "a bar...is just a church...where they serve beer!"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817315128877866087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-90240667639917968832008-04-10T19:43:00.000-07:002008-04-10T19:43:00.000-07:00(Chiming in with Is) It was at one of those off-th...(Chiming in with Is) It was at one of those off-the-grid stages at Bumbershoot. This guy was performing alone with a guitar/amp that seemed barely professional, and proceeded to completely suck us in with his irony and, you realized later, musicianship. We bought Wrong-Eyed Jesus (CD) from him as he left the stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-59655952174833570822008-04-10T17:35:00.000-07:002008-04-10T17:35:00.000-07:00Oh, we saw Jim White once at Bumbershoot; he's a q...Oh, we saw Jim White once at Bumbershoot; he's a quirky good performer.isabelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175928587455507236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32850048.post-31648824799068559932008-04-10T12:35:00.000-07:002008-04-10T12:35:00.000-07:00This makes me understand who the unhappiest person...This makes me understand who the unhappiest person in the world is:<BR/><BR/>Jonathan Richman!<BR/><BR/>He has looked over the edge and seen the abyss. You shall know the truth and the truth will freak you out.<BR/><BR/>Jim White is not unhappy. He has deduced the abyss, but remains stubbornly on his own path, refusing to go to the edge because he has faith that would be a waste of time. But he keeps his honesty and inegrety.<BR/><BR/>I was watching the movie Enchanted the other day with my daughter, and I was stunned by a line: The prince had made a proclomation of love to his intended, and a secondary character was smitten and said something to the extent "you said that completely without irony." Jim White's songs have that. They would be corney as hell if he didn't really beleive the words he says. If you take them at face value, then you find an antidote to the abyss.<BR/><BR/>The best Jim White song to demonstrate this is "Turquoise House". It is a declaration of independance if you are willing to accept your own humanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
