. HIGH NOTES Miranda Lambert ----------XX---------- I always wondered what happened to the Dave Matthews Band. OK.......so I didn't wonder........saying so, seemed an easy way to begin to talk about them. Anyway....they've re-emerged. They've found their voice. And what a voice it is! They've discovered that if you repeat both a verbal line and its musical line over and over and over, your audience will think that you're presenting them with a profoundly metaphysical experience. So that's what the Dave Matthews Band is doing now. It's sort of like "I've gotta go..........I've gotta go..........I've gotta go..........I've gotta go..........I've gotta go..........I've gotta go..........I've gotta go.........." (don't say it....I know what you're thinking:-) :-) So anyway, they do those repeating lines over and over and over, and the audience goes nuts because they figure they're getting genuine art for their money, and a whole lot of scrawny boy-bands watching it are saying, "Hey....we can do that!" ...........and so what we have now, is a giant wave of ugly non-artists going into the same kind of orgasmic fervor of one-liners that have, sadly, become this year's musical crop of extreme nothingness. This stuff is so bad......even shoplifters are returning it. ----------XX---------- I watched Dolly Parton in an interview. She's an adorable lady. She's smart, caring, always ready to laugh, and quite beautiful. But I can't stand to listen to her sing. She has recorded John Lennon's "Imagine" and boy, does she ever manage to totally destroy it! I don't even understand what it is she does that's so destructive. I can't put my finger on it. I can't describe it. I just know that it really, really, sucks........really, really, sucks.........really, really, sucks.........really, really, sucks.........really, really, sucks.........really, really, sucks.........really, really sucks. +++++++
