Hello Irwin and everyone,
This song is very pleasant, in a non-threatening way.

Maybe you can't read poetry, Irwin, but Gordon sure can--his recitation explored the depths of NOT in such a way that it was clear the soul of a poet lurks in that young man!

Although Mr. Scott was not comfortable with people taking liberties with his arrangements, I don't think he'd have much good to say about the Orchestrette?
Wed. 1/21/09 3:56pm
From:
Laura L
Nah, Nick and Gordon are different poets who march to the beat of a different drummer, or rather two different drummers. I think The Old Codger could teach young Gordon a thing or two--they should get together over a rum!

I saw the Hold Steady as Lifter Puller. Craig Finn is great live.
I always think he sounds like a cross of Mark E. Smith and Neil Diamond.
I don't like all their stuff, but they're kind of interesting.

If that doesn't work, then go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map, which is like Key Caps on a Mac.
If you don't see All Programs, just go straight to Accessories.

I heard that DLR is now a paramedic with the NYFD or something like that, or he trained to be a paramedic with them, or he once rode in one of their ambulances, or ...what is the real story New York?

He was an Emergency medical technician in NYC for a few years. Seriously. Not sure what he's up to now.

Ye Gods, DLR as a EMT? Can you imagine regaining conciousness after who knows what only to find him squatting over you holding the De-fib paddles?
Wed. 1/21/09 4:51pm
From:
Glenn L
Yes but I'd have to imagine that, just like in VH,
he'd have lots and lots of available "painkillers" on him.
Wed. 1/21/09 4:52pm
From:
GP
I remember reading somewhere that possibly his dad was a doctor, and he wanted to go to medical school but got caught up in the band...so he decided that he still wanted to help people after and learn about medicine. I think the paramedic / EMT lifestyle fits more with his gonzo lifestyle than being a doctor.

Maybe we'll see DLR in a cameo or ER or House?
