So, on a last minute whim, Vinny decided to head on down to the Wormy Dog this past Saturday to check out the Bleu/Jackson Taylor Band show. Vinny arrived right about 9:30 and as if it was on cue, the JTB band went on stage and started to play before Vinny could even go to the back bar for his first bucket of Bud Light. Vinny's first impression of the JTB: Okay. Nothing to write home about. But, Vinny would rather listen to a decent garage band at 9:30, then wait for the headliner to go on at 11. Don't get Vinny wrong, JTB had some positives. First and foremost, the new Hot Topic shirts they wore that nite. Can't go wrong with Social Distortion, the Ramones and AC/DC. Also, they brought their own fan section that was whooping it up over on the north end of the main bar. Not sure what Rob Lowe was thinking about wearing sunglasses in to the club though. Leave your sunglasses in your car, unless you're in the band of course. Vinny didn't get the Van Zant guy in the Hollister shirt either, but hey... they looked like they were having fun and that's what matters. Music wise.. JTB was decent. Little rough around the edges, but they served their purpose. They're a decent R&R/TX party band. Even had a few couples dancing out on the floor. Overall, not too bad of a show. So, after JTB got done, it was time for Bleu to come on. If anyone's seen a Bleu show before, you know he and his band are probably the most energetic "Red Dirt" band in the business (besides Roger Clyne maybe) and Saturday nite was no different. Bleu had the crowd going from the get go and put on a solid performance. Although BEB isn't an "IT" band for Vinny, he highly recommends checking them out. Well worth the cover, even if you just wanna hang out, drink cold beer and hottie watch, which is pretty much what Vinny does at a Bleu show. "50 dollars and a flask of crown" is as good a song as it gets though.. As usual, the crowd was a good one, even had some Hornets game stragglers (Again, please leave the thundersticks in the car) wander in hoping to see Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately he had to cancel. Good nite overall though for those who showed up. Have a nice Ragweed Day!!
