Rags To...



After 9/11, we were told it would be the death of irony. Little did they know quite how festering and resilient irony is, or how it would come back stronger than ever. But a few years before that fateful day, irony had apparently already been delivered a swift kick in the teeth. The saddest thing is I saw them on this tour, though I dont believe Bob Dylan was there. Even at the age of 11 I'm fairly sure I would have lost my shit. Notice especially how the wind/wind machine does not affect him at all while Mick billows gorgeously. Edie Sedgwick is waiting in hell with brass knuckles.

Mick Jagger is on the short list of artists I really appreciate but would never want to speak to.
