Minnesotan moments #1182

[mrissa]

At the Josh Ritter concert last night:

Josh: I want to try to play a new song for you.
Enthusiastic Minnesotan man in the crowd: I'll bet it's pretty good!

Oh, Minnesotans. Never, ever change.

(It was pretty good, too. It had icy death potential, which improves most things.)

Darn, I want to call a band Icy Death Potential.

Preferably one that does Max Raabe-style covers of Metallica.

He played it on a frozen guitar with a skate-blade pick?

And here I had to go all the way to Winnipeg to see Josh Ritter. I hadn't realized that he was in town -- though of course I was already in Winnipeg by then.

Yah, I didn't figure you were likely to change your Winnipeg plans just to see one artist. Still, I hope the Winnipeg concert was good.

It was pretty good. I bought a CD. It was pretty good as well.

Which CD?

The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter

Surprisingly little history in it.

It's got Joan of Arc! It's got Casey Jones! It's got the Next to the Last True Romantic, who has to be some kind of historical figure anyway!
