Sorry we had to bail (halfway thru State Trooper) but our babysitter thinks we'll be home in 15 minutes. Whoops!

The fourth floor of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris houses the greatest collection of impressionist art in the world. It's not even close. To my knowledge, there is no second place. I have had the good fortune and privilege to spend a fair amount of time there across a number of visits and every visit since my first has been somewhat similar:
First there is the sense of being in the presence of greatness. Of seeing things that represent the finest in the human spirit and the greatest aspects of our evolution. But after a while it's just overwhelming. The eyes, the mind just can't process any more, just doesn't compute. One monet starts to blend into another. And along w/ the highest high, that feeling of a supreme aesthetic experience , comes a kind of depression.
There is the knowledge that no matter what i do, i will never achieve a single moment of brilliance that approaches even the average of these great artists. That the very best i can do is simply ordinary. There is the certain knowledge that i will never touch people, move people, reach people in any way remotely like what these artists did routinely. I am not w/out ambition or w/out ego. Nor am i w/out talent. So this realization is, like i said, depressing, even amid the celebration, the glory, the rush of being surrounded by greatness and wondrousness.
Tonight was kind of like that.
The drive by truckers have nothing left to prove. To my mind they are, plain and simple, the greatest rock n roll band in the world. The only contender i can think of is the rolling stones, getting it together for one special night and bringing all their brilliance to bear. But of course they don't actually do that anymore. Who else is out there? Nobody.
Many of you have mocked my naivete as expressed in the "break on through" thread. You've explained that the band is simply a cult band, a niche band. You've opined that there is no more mass audience, that the band is a "fall between the niches" band. You've noted that the band manages to make a living and what more can one expect in this day and age. You're all right, but simply put, you're all wrong. I see no difference between this band and the legendary "starving artists" of yesteryear, slaving away in obscurity, awaiting discovery and fame only after it was too late. This band is that good, and it's a flat out shame that hardly anybody knows it.
Random notes:
Fuckin' Neff. That is all.
If Roy Bittan is the "professor" than jay is a nobel laureate. Those of u who doubt should have heard him tonight, especially but not only on "Buttholeville/State Trooper" and "Marry Me" (i think, sorry i'm pretty tired at the moment).
The one bad thing about standing in the back is that u get the amateurs. We on this board are a pretty closed community and we sort of "assume" that everyone knows what we do. But, duh, most people don't know the new songs, and that was pretty obvious.
The band KILLED the new songs w/ the sole exception, imo, of "Fireplace Poker". It's just not up to the standard of the rest. And the 2 eddie hinton numbers back to back were awesome - dbt IS the muscle shoals rhythm section, the stax/volt house band, the funk brothers come to life. The best r&b/soul band in the world, in addition to being the best rock band
As Patterson noted, men outnumbered women, but OMG, the women were by far the prettiest i've seen at a dbt show, even moreso than at the dbt/hold steady show i saw at terminal 5 in nyc a few yrs ago. No doubt it's a southern thing.
I don't know that i've ever seen so many tobacco smokers in my life; if so, it's been years, and on a percentage basis, this was far and away the biggest cough a thon i've experienced.
Personal to Patterson: When the lead singer is playing keyboards, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HER WAY!!!!
Personal to Shonna: OK, i admit it u got me hook, line and sinker. But no way is dancing ricky a girl!!! Plus, I don't know what's happened recently but you BELONG up there in a way u never did before. It's ALSUM!!! You go, girl!!!
Personal to the woman who looked like LM's sister: Yowza!
Personal to LM: The implication is obvious, but i'll be damned if i'm gonna let u rest on your laurels w/ 2+ more days to go!
Personal to Lurleen: I will remember that hug for a long, loooooong time.
Personal to the bars and restaurants of Athens: Your drink prices are ridiculously low. If i lived here i'd be an alcoholic w/in days. But you're still costing me a fortune: between rounding up and guilt, i think a few people did very well tonite
Personal to all: I met the elusive and mysterious Woodduck and you didn't

I did not, to my knowledge, meet the Gweat and Tearwibbull Wood Duck. Perhaps tomorrow.
I spent a lot of time during the GGB set stage left, watching many of you watch and listen to the band. I highly recommend that you do this sometime, at least for a few minutes. I try to turn my back to the band and watch you every night. It's life affirming. An overused term, sure but if you saw what I did on nights like this you'd agree.
