5) TODD SNIDER NAMES HIS FAVORITE TROUBADOURS
+
We like somewhat quirky Todd Snider, and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance-interview with him at the Grammy Museum for which the Guide did a ticket giveaway for our readers .
+
ANDY SILVA of Shore Fire Media just wrote to tell us, “We asked ‘America’s sharpest musical storyteller’ [that’s Todd Snider, as he was dubbed by Rolling Stone] to tell us about some of his favorite musical storytellers. What we got was a collection of thoughtful and hilarious musings on the writers and performers who have informed his one-of-a-kind stage persona, captured brilliantly on his new double-disc live album, ‘The Storyteller’ [due out February 1, 2011].”
+
So, TODD SNIDER’S FIVE FAVORITE TROUBADOURS OF ALL TIME are…
+
Number 1. Bob Dylan
For me, when it comes to being a fan of a troubadour, I have to laugh with you before I’ll cry with you, simply because most troubadours expect you to cry over their journal entries with them. Most troubadours are awful people. Bob, however, is not. I think he’s America’s finest contribution to the world, of any kind. He does not have a song I don’t like, and while he doesn’t talk much on stage, when he does, it’s precise, funny, wise and everything else. There really is no point in anyone else doing this troubadour thing. Hell, I once paid for a tape of Bob arguing on the phone… and I thought it was a great album.
+
Number 2. Bill Hicks
While Bill might not be as funny as Bob Dylan, he does take on subjects that Bob abandoned as a young man, and through the use of humor he gives legs to these topics that Bob Dylan couldn’t. I have to admit that Bill never quite figured out how his music and lyrics meshed, but he sure tried. He played guitar on all his albums and often referred to himself as a rock musician…I wonder sometimes if he knew what talking blues were, because he loved talking and loved the blues but never combined them. I sometimes tell Elvis, my tour manager, that we are taking up where Bill left off, like I’m Bill Hicks if he’d a been a Ramblin’ Jack Elliott fan.
+
Number 3. Michael Stipe
Sexy physical humor is generally regarded as impossible, but with his dancing and striptease clothing act, Michael Stipe is about the only singer I’ve ever seen pull this off on a regular basis. Guys are laughing, girls are drooling… he’s in on all of it. Magic, and even comically ironic considering his sexual orientation. Iggy Pop is close in this regard, but for me… no cigar. People don’t always get Michael’s humor, but did you ever see the video where he outs his band as straight? Hysterical. And I know he mumbles a lot of lyrics, but when you dig into them they can be topical and funny. Ramblin’ Michael Stipe: Troubadour. I have always been amazed at all the levels his performance could be taken on. Is that Andy Kauffman or Mick Jagger or Hunter S. Thompson? The answer is yes.
+
Number 4. Mitch Hedberg
He reminds me of Michael Stipe a little in the way he juxtaposes his position as an artist. His stage stance was almost like Jim Morrison’s…..like imagine Jim doing “The End” hanging off the mic with his “aloof rocker who wont even look at the crowd” riff going. You know the “I’m just gonna stand here behind my sexy” vibe…..Except when he opens his mouth, what he says is hysterical and smart (not “ride the blue snake,” thank God). Hedberg’s another guy who was supposedly a comedian but actually considered himself a musician…and acted like one too. An admirable stoner-slash-junkie wearing great shades. One of the things I dig about him and Bill Hicks is that you really could put drums to his tracks. A drummer would not be lost trying to overdub to these concerts because they move with rhythm. The last thing he ever wrote down was “Do you believe in gosh?”
+
Number 5. Ramblin’ Jack Elliott
The father of them all… Only wrote one song in his life and yet brought us everyone from Dylan to Jerry Jeff Walker. One thing I love about Ramblin’ Jack, Bob Dylan, and Jerry Jeff Walker is that those are not their real names. Any troubadour worth his salt invents himself out of nothing. It gave me the courage to just become the tipsy gypsy one day (high school varsity letters and Republican parents be damned). We’re not who our parents say we are. We’re who we say we are. Right dad? And I’m Ramblin’ Jack Elliot? Wait… I got confused there. Not sure what my point was… uh… I’ll tell you this though… I saw Ramblin’ Jack at Jerry Jeff’s birthday party in 1986, and he played his only song. It’s called “912 Greens.” The song is about 15 seconds long and only has two lines in it: “Did you ever see a river that made you want to shiver.” But the story that precedes the song is 45 minutes long…
+
Yep, as we said, Todd is quirky. But a lot of fun. You can learn more about him, his upcoming new album, and his music career, at www.toddsnider.net and www.myspace.com/toddsnider

6) Pirates Have a Top 20 Chart? Who Knew! (Maybe the Parrot…)
+
We heard this week from Shanghai Brown & There Be Pirates, a band that makes, well, pirate music. Of course, they began their message “Ahoy there.”
+
They wrote to ask us to “vote fer us humble musickal pirates” to ascend “Music World Radio’s Top 20 Charts.” For those inclined to check it out, it’s quick, easy, and free to access (and to vote for whomever you want there).
+
It’s at www.topchoons.com/vote.html. ;
+
To vote for There Be Pirates, click on “Arrrrrgghhhh song, Swingin’ from the Yardarm.”
+
But that’s not all. You can go to www.therebepirates.net to, as Shanghai says, “send all yer crew a beautiful There Be Pirates! holiday card with a download card (also a giant album art sticker) for one, or both, of arrrgghhhh albums.” (“Our” as “arrrrggghhh” – get it?) Proceeds support their upcoming third tour to the UK in August, 2011.
+
Well, Blackbeard did wear red ribbons in his beard, not unlike the ones we use to wrap holiday gift packages. Except we don’t light those ribbons on fire, like he did…
.

7) GIFT IDEAS FOR MUSIC LOVERS
+
Concert tix make great gifts. The Guide’s listings go waaaaay into next year, to help you find the perfect one to match your special friends’ tastes. And some venues will make-up gift certificates for “use anytime” concert tix of the recipient’s choice, if you ask ’em.
+
IF you know a musician who is saving to buy a particular instrument AT A PARTICULAR MUSIC STORE, why not help out with a gift certificate from that store? But be careful, or you hard-earned bucks could get trapped in some limbo between what’s wanted and what’s suddenly available for the wrong thing at the wrong place. (We’re not fans of store “gift cards” from any store, for the very same reason.)
+
Beyond that? Well, there’s that always-wonderful holiday gift idea: give a fine CD to your music loving friends! And please buy it from the artist at a gig or from your local RECORD STORE.

8) 41 YEARS LATER, “YOU KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE UNTRUE, YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD BE A LIAR…”
+
Iconic DOORS lead singer JIM MORRISON was convicted on charges of Profanity & Indecent Exposure following a performance of the band in Miami in 1969. Morrison died two years later, before his pending appeal could be heard. It all remained that way in the history books until Florida’s outgoing Governor Charlie Crist (the Republican rising star turned independent) decided a pardon was in order. Crist seems to have felt, in the words that political reporter CHRIS MATTHEWS quoted from the old DOORS song, “The Time to Hesitate Is Through,” and that it was time to exonerate one of rock’s most lyrical icons. Accordingly, the state’s Clemency Board unanimously granted Morrison a pardon on December 9, 2010 – 41 years after the conviction, that, in part, caused Morrison to flee America for France, where as another of his songs prophesized, “No one here gets out alive.”
