Birmingham on Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Well,
I went and saw Marc Broussard tonight while in Birmingham. He's a young
kid with a great voice, but his brand of soul didn't do much for me in the
end. He has that one great song that I saw on TV called "Home." It's what
they finished with and that was the only song that really did anything for
me. The girl that sang with him for some songs also opened for him. I ended
up liking her more in the end, and her name was Shannon McNally. It didn't
hurt that at the end of one song that she said she liked my shirt which
was a Tom Waits shirt. So the lady has some damn good taste...hehe.
One of the better moments though of the evening was when we had some young
20-something girls next to us just jabbering away and pretty much ignoring
the artist (we're right up next to the stage). I can't tell them to shut
up because I'm a "big mean guy." And some stupid jock will try to come to
their rescue, and I just don't want the drama. What was funny was that the
girl beside turned around to them and said, "Shut the fuck up!" They stood
there appalled like they couldn't believe that someone was annoyed by them.
I'm glad I went because it gave me something to do while in town on business,
but it didn't encourage me to purchase any of his CD's. I'll just
resort to buying the song(s) I like through I-Tunes instead. The guy
can still sing, it's just his preferred genre of music isn't my cup of tea
in the end.
