the keyboardist playing with the Foo Fighters is Rami Jaffee, from the Wallflowers. You might have heard of their frontman.

enjoyed reading the blog, first time.

Thanks for that info, Leslie. Here’s a link to a recent Amy Goodman interview with Charlie ~~Hayden~~ Haden. Petra and her sisters are mentioned.

[...] I wonder what “this” is, that I’m dumping.. The never ending Dylan tour is fully blogged and reviewed by amateurs like me who focus on the hats. Between Brian’s observation and my own admission last night that I was merely blogging, I’m feeling subdued. [...]

as the hat juggling in “Waiting for Godot” undoubtedly was inspired by the Marx brotehrs’ “Duck Soup,” so here the hats, the costumes of the band were undoubtedly inspired by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi in “The Blues Brothers.”

well, bruce, let’s face it, hair is a hat, of sorts, a hat: hair for those with none, I suppose.

But let’s face it, there’s more to Shania Twain than her hair.

I guess The Edge just wants to keep that big brain of his warm.

I’m thinking about taking on a hat again, better than taking up a pipe, or a walking stick or a cape, but I’m just not sure there is a hat for me - apart from the tin foil jobbies. See, then the focus would be on the hat, always on the hat, look at me, look at my hat. Look at my shaved head.

Actually I think I’m wrong, maybe we need to focus on the hats more. See these as more than just tics or affectations.

Right, that’s it, I’m spending the day out looking at hats. Branding opp.

yes, bmo, but this is a fine observation: “The pedal steel player needed no hat. He was younger with a full head of hair.”

Along the same lines, when was the last time you saw The Edge without a hat?

Exactly.

Frank, so older men can still rock? Who knew…

all you citizen journo types are obsessed with the hats. you have to get by the hats.
