      If
      you’re

      |
      you
      want
      to
      play
      guitar
      and
      sing,
      you
      listen
      to
     
    

    
     
      §
      guy,
      and
      he
      seemed
      to
      have
      such
      a
      pure
      vein
      he
     
    

    
     
      s
      drawing
      from.
      I
      like
      that.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      as
      just
      reading
      herein
      your
      little
      press
      thing
     
     
      t
      some
      of
      the
      bands
      you
      were
      listening
      to--I
     
     
      iss
      it
      was
      while
      you
      were
      in
     
    
   
   
    
     
      songwriter;
      he’s
      incredibly
      clever,
      his
     
     
      wordplay
      is
      really
      clever,
      and
      that’s
     
     
      something
      thatI
      would
      really
      strive
     
     
      for,
      that
      kind
      of...
      cynical
      cleverness.
     
     
      Everyone
      likes
      to
      think
      of
      themselves
     
     
      as
      clever,
      but
      he
      is
      clever.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      You’ve
      played
      with
      Sarah
     
     
      McLachlan
      before,
      haven’t
      you?
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Yeah,
      we
      did
      some
      shows
      together
      in
     
     
      Ontario
      before
      Christmas.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      How
      were
      they?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It
      was
      good.
      It’s
      funny
      that
      you
      can
     
    

    
     
      live
      in
      the
      same
      city
      as
      someone
      and
     
    

    
     
      not
      meet
      them
      till
      you
      go
      out
      onthe
     
     
      road
      together.

      Well,
      I
      lived
      in
     
    

    
     
      mneapolis
      for
      two
      years,
     
    

    
     
      now.
      I’d
      love
      to
      say
      I
      was
     
    

    
     
      dy
      enough
      to
      be
      into
      all
     
     
      se
      groovy
      bands,
      but...
      .
      I
     
    

    
     
      :
      friend
      in
      highschool
      who
     
     
      is
      very
      knowledgeable
      about
     
     
      isic,
      and
      |
      remember
      him
     
    

    
     
      ig
      So
      upset
      when
      Lowell
     
     
      rge
      of
      Little
      Feat
      died.
      I
     
     
      it
      really
      know
      who
      Lowell

      really
      impress-
     
     
      ed
      with
      what
     
     
      Sarah
      did."
     
    
   
   
    
     
      1.
      The
      first
      show
     
     
      we
      did
      together
     
     
      I
      wasn’t
      really
     
     
      impressed
      with
     
     
      what
      she
      did.
      It
     
     
      took
      me
      acou-
     
     
      ple
      of
      shows
      to
     
     
      really
      catch
      on
     
     
      to
      what
      she
      was
     
     
      about.
      I
      like
     
     
      what
      she
      does
      a
     
     
      lot,
      and
      I
      par-
     
     
      ticularly
      like
      her
     
     
      band.
      I
      admire
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
          
     
     
         
     
     
         
     
     
         
     
     
        
     
     
        
     
     
         
     
     
          
     
     
       
     
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      fge
      was
      and
      I
      certainly
     
     
      *t
      that
      hip
      on
      Little
      Feat,
     
     
      tsince
      then
      I’ve
      listened
      to
      the
      band
      quite
      a
      lot.
      He
     
     
      eso
      into
      Captain
      Beefheart,
      and
      we
      used
      to
      sit
     
     
      lind
      listening
      to
      Captain
      Beefheart
      and
      thinking
     
    

    
     
      it
      getting
      stoned.
      He
      was
      really
      into
      the
      New
      York
     
     
      '
      and
      then
      we
      were
      getting
      the
      Pistols
      and
      the
     
    

    
     
      h
      and
      stuff
      like
      ABBA
      on
      the
      charts,
      so
      we
      were
     
     
      Hing
      this
      really
      weird
      mix
      of
      music.
      So
      I
      guess
     
    

    
     
      :
      to
      the
      point
      is
      that
      when
      people
      think
      ofa
     
    

    
     
      writer
      and
      folk--y’know,
      there’s
      that
      awful
      four
     
     
      rword
      again--they
      think,
      ‘‘Oh,
      well
      he
      must've
     
    

    
     
      hed
      to...
      Peter,
      Paul,
      and
      Mary...
      Bob
      Dylan,”’
     
     
      know
      ,blah-blah-blah.
      And
      really
      youcan’tavoid
      all
     
     
      other
      things
      and
      I
      used
      to
      listen
      to
      them
      a
      lot.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      i
      Is
      another
      really
      far
      out
      one,
      but
      how
      about
     
     
      y
      ostello?

      J
      herasasinger--
     
     
      y’
      know,
      when
     
     
      you
      were
      talking
      about
      what
      singers
     
     
      do
      I
      admire,
      I
      think
      she
      has
      a
      real
     
     
      strong
      control
      ofher

      there’sa
     
     
      musicality
      there
      that
      I
      like.
      I
      like
      that
     
     
      somebody
      has
      spent
      enough
      time
      to
     
     
      learn
      how
      to
      sing,
      instead
      of
      just
     
     
      getting
      up
      there
      and
      wailing
      ‘cause
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      there’s
