You may be right Tigger. I personally don't enjoy watching Marty which is why I don't place him so high. I was in my late teens and heading off to college when the grunge scene kicked in. I traded my hairspray and Bon Jovi image and turned grunge. It had an impact on my life for sure. I enjoyed the late 80's right at a time when I started partying and drinking (I'm English so was legal to drink at 18 so of course we all started at 15 and nobody cared, now I'm in the US for anyone getting confused) It was cool to drink Jack Daniels because that's what Guns n Roses did. It was cool to sing about sex, drugs and rock n roll. Then along comes Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell & Co. writing intense songs and bringing on the grunge. It was refreshing, it was raw, it was honest and it was something we all could suddenly relate to. It was intense. The vocals were brutal, raw and passionate. The personalities of these performers were intriguing. Marty…no. Not for me. Maybe it's because I'm older I don’t know. I like to think I'm still in touch with my music. I still play my guitar at every opportunity if only for my own enjoyment and to teach my kids. I still crave the live shows and the whole experience. I keep telling myself one day I need to grow up! I just can't get into him. After Tuesday's show I was quite complimentary to Marty's effort at Wish You Were Here. It's one of my fav albums ever and that song is just a classic among classics. But last night watching him do it again. I wasn't as impressed. I think the first time around I was surprised to hear him sing it that way and wasn't really watching and listening as intently as last night. The 'mad conductor' waving arms thing….ummm why? If he's not doing that he's standing like a statue all awkward screaming out lyrics. Has he once communicated with or acknowledged the crowd while he's performing? It's like he's just there in his own little world. But again that's just my opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree.
