I didn't feel capable of writing a review on him because I felt I would've ripped him too hard, but perhaps would've reconsidered if I paid more attention to the performance. I had a feeling that he was one of those guys that might take a listen or two on Cd to appreciate the live performance. I'll have to pick it up the next time i'm in a record store. <br/><br/>And AJL: Dont' forget the gefilte fish...nothing says Jewish second career like a bunch of preserved whitefish. Nothing.

That is probably because they ARE oppressed. Mainly by their overbearing parents. You know, the ones who keep saying things like "No, David, you can't have a birthday cake. The day you're a doctor -- then we'll have something to celebrate. You think we left Russia four generations ago so you could have birthday cake?" <br/><br/>Plus, my parents tell me that lawyers often become writers and artists as second careers. <br/><br/>Oh, how I look forward to my retirement home days, when my arty dreams will all finally come true. I just hope they have a kiln. And that delicious hospital-type egg salad. Because I hear second career artists are very big on the soft foods.

He was the headliner with his name printed on the tix and everything. What up? He is great by the way. Did you see Kelly Stoltz? He was the headliner with his name printed on the tix and everything.

Of course, in the 60s we get Bob Dylan and today we get half of that douchebag (possibly). Not a good decade for the Hebrews. And I'm not even getting started on Paul Wolfowitz. That's a different blog altogether. No but I think that She Wants Revenge douchebag who is a Paul Banks by way of Ian Curtis impersonator, might be a halfer.

I mean the dude sounds just like a Canter Singing "L'Dorva Dor" at some thirteen year olds Bar-Mitzvah. I've been to plenty of Bar-Mitzvahs and I can tell you if Banks says he ain't a Canter or related to a Canter, he's lying!

But today, other than the dude in Yo La Tengo, I couldn't really think of any Jew rock stars out there, since the Beasties are rappers (sorta), but you're right about Farrell. I confess I forget about him. He still should counts as current, if he isn't too busy being "not gay" with Dave Navarro. i actually interviewed him once asked him what it was like to be one of the 10 coolest men ever Bar-Mitavah'd. I'm not sure if I actually meant it, but I think I just wanted to ask that question.

Then all of a sudden, a couple of my friends asked me if I knew the name of the lead singer from Hoobastank. The reason? Their sisters who were Pi Phi undergrads were asked this question for the trivia portion of Derby Days and were looking to get a leg up. In spite of the fact that I don't remember anything that took place during that evening or that no one can actively learn things like the name of Hoobastank's lead singer, I spouted it off with no hesitation. Bizarre.<br/><br/>I have to disagree about there being no Jewish rock stars; Bob Dylan aside, you've got Perry Farrell, Kiss, half of Lenny Kravitz, the Beastie Boys...I'm not proud of these people, but they're still famous.
