I totally understand why people don't like Fugazi. They are often noisy and shouty and even a little bit punk. If that ain't your thing then you're not going to like them.

But you may want to check out their last album The Argument, which has to be their least noisy and shouty. An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajrCZJgwoh4

I will try that. I feel like there are some things I have liked in my life that are a little bit punk, but maybe I am kidding myself.

Ok, now everybody is bummed out . . . so let's keep it going. I don't listen to either of these bands, but what's the difference between Insane Clown Posse and Kottonmouth Kings? Is it just that ICP really sucks? Props to Kottonmouth Kings for not diluting their message, as far as my tiny bit of research seems to show.

We saw the Scissor Sisters on the tour for that first album. Great show. Of course, I didn't get to meet Ana Matronic (unlike some extremely fortunate people I could mention).

Remember how I didn't mention it was you? Thanks for rubbing it in.

And she's from Portland! (Next time you see her tell her I have an awful crush on her.)

Another article about Levon.

Quote
In his 1993 memoir, “This Wheel’s on Fire,” written with Stephen Davis, Helm disclosed that “The Last Waltz” crystallized what had long bothered him about The Band: the image of guitarist Robertson as leader and star, rather than as part of a collaborative team.

“For two hours we watched as the camera focused almost exclusively on Robbie Robertson, long and loving close-ups of his heavily made-up face and expensive haircut,” Helm wrote, describing his first screening of the documentary. “The film was edited so it looked like Robbie was conducting the band with expansive waves of his guitar neck.”

Responding to Helm’s criticism, Robertson told the Los Angeles Times: “I never wanted to be the boss, and in fact I never thought I was the boss. I was just trying to organize things so we could do things like make records and go out and play a show somewhere.”

I really like The Last Waltz, but when I saw it in the theaters several years ago after a remaster or something, this was exactly what bugged me about it. Not to mention Robbie's rock star faces and poses. Even in Levon's shining moment, it opens with this bullshit. Don't get me wrong though, I love the guy.

Miles, I'm not sure where you are coming from with this.  What you are calling Helm's "Shining moment" is also Robertson's shining moment. Don't forget that he wrote the song. I think it's actually a credit to Robertson that he shared so much of the limelight with his bandmates when he was clearly the leader of the group.
