alright so i'm a little peeved...

i didn't so much care for michael penn. and only partly because i found him the least attractive person to grace largo's stage... ok, i'm gonna be really shallow right now, that was a BIG part of it. i had no idea what he looked like and he has a mighty sexy voice and his appearance SO does not match. and my friends afterwords were all swooning about how sexy he is and i just. don't. get. it. i found him prohibitively unattractive. but more than that, i just was very not into his tunes...he's very one-level. his lyrics are too cynical to be moving most of the time, and the other times...well, i dunno...i drifted off. not literally i just wasn't paying attention. my gumwrapper was infinitely more interesting. and the whole while i was just pissed that everyone was paying good money tonight to see him and therefore would not want to spend a (much more deserved) same amount on glen the next night. duran duran aside. i guess i just went with high expactions. my friend Sara told me after the last time she saw michael penn that he was "everything glen tries to be". thems was fightin words and i really did have to see what it was all about. and i was so just...unamazed. and i feel...disloyal to glen. after i've missed him twice in a row i go to largo the DAY before a glen show and spend my hard earned money on someone i dont even like, just cuz my friends want to go. it hardly seems right.

i'm being to harsh. he was good. just not my type really. and i couldn't even say why. he doesn't exude the goodnaturedness and personality of glen, i guess. and i hate to continually compare him to glen. but what can you do, smart sensitive guy with a guitar..and the only other artist i've ever seen (headline) at largo...hmmm...now i feel like i really NEED to see glen tomorrow....what to do????

oh apparently aimee mann was sitting right behind me...didn't notice. whatevers.
