Lucinda Williams is one of my idols, and I got the chance to see her at the Metropolis in Montreal on Thursday night. Lucinda could do pretty much anything and I would think she's wonderful. She is a rough, raw, edgy woman, and I love her for that. But, I have to admit, I was a little worried about her on Thursday. The chemical enhancement seemed a bit too...enhanced. I appreciated that she decided to scramble her set list. However, when she had to have a band huddle between each song, had to call the technician out on stage about ten times, and had to constantly turn her back to the audience to get grounded, I worried for her. I still love her, though. We regretted not being more stoned in solidarity. A highlight of the show was this song. "Hey my little honey bee, I'm so glad you stung me.".....Great stuff. She ended the whole show with an AC/DC cover: "It's a long way to the top (If ya wanna rock n' roll!)" Rock on, Lucinda!

Thursday
Today involved...
1) Battling a headache with drugs and caffeine. It's still there, but in the background now.
2) Battling the cold. Brrrr.
3) Buying the new Lucinda Williams CD. My conversation with my CD store man went as follows:
Me: How is the new Lucinda CD?
Him: Great. Dark.You know.
Me: Yeah. Perfect for February.
Him: Lucinda knows how to bring a person down.
Me: Isn't she amazing? I just love her! I'll probably be back on the weekend for some kind of musical amphetamine to counteract her, though.
4) Working....Nothing interesting to blog here.
5) Listening to the new Lucinda CD. With song titles like "Unsuffer Me", and lyrics like -- "All you do is talk the talk/You can't back it up with your walk/You can't light my fire so fuck off/... Go Lucinda go!

Lucinda
It`s been a bit of gloomy day for me. In the midst of it all, however, I learned that Lucinda Williams has a new CD coming out. She is the goddess of broken hearts. I`ve decided today that I will go see her either in Toronto in March, or in Memphis in April.
