~You Never Know
YOU NEVER KNOW...
I didn't get the chance to make it to Plush on Thursday night, and I missed it. It actually has been throwing off my sense of... well I can't really think of anything good to say, but it's been throwing me off.
To make matters worse, with the being thrown off and everything, I did get a chance to get over to Plush yesterday, Saturday. My brother-in-law Garth is going for training (to be a prison guard) today and yesterday we had a little going away party for him there, so that really threw me off a bit.
Anyhow, my brother Gil (or Gino to his family) and Ann (my big sistah as she says) were asking if we were going to be able to stay for the band that was performing that night, but we couldn't. Michelle is sick with bronchitis (sp?), which is why we weren't able to make it out on Thursday, anyway, so we leave at about 6:00. Then later that night, or actually the next morning at like 1:45 a.m. I get an e-mail from my brother titled, To bad you guys couldn't stay...
I open the e-mail and he says a line or two about the band and how tired he and Ann are, but it was cool and nights like that make it all worth it. He attached a picture and just said actor... I look at the pic and am like, That kind of looks like Kiefer Sutherland. I look a bit longer and say That IS Kiefer Sutherland.
How cool is it that Kiefer Sutherland showed up at Plush? Of course I had to call Michelle to tell her and she was like Of course it's on a night where we leave early!
Of course it was, that's always how things happen in our lives.
Anyway, that's just another reason why I love Plush Cafe, you never know who's going to show up!
My fingers are crossed for next time the surprise being Christina Aguilera!

Remember ladies, that was MY dream, and I had it several times before KS ever showed up!!! Anyway, that did suck. I wouldn't even have asked for an autograph 'cause I'm such a snob. Yet, if it had been MR., or a few other movie personalities? I'd of had my little note pad handy. Smile. Y'all know who, too. :=)

Back Door Man
Kiefer Sutherland likes Rocco DeLuca—now it’s your turn

As Little Richard once said, rock & roll is only rock & roll when it feels like the devil is knocking on the back door, and there isn’t another instrument that captures that sense of sinister intent like a slide dobro. If hell has a symphony, a slide dobro is sitting first chair.
When played well—as in Rocco DeLuca’s hands—it conjures visions of weathered Negroes standing at crossroads; of Appalachian hillbillies on creaky wooden porches watching rain fall on dismal woods; of swamps and bayous and long, lonesome roads leading nowhere; of rootlessness and frontiers that beckon only because you know you’re finally leaving the place you came from. It’s America at its most primitive—and if that ain’t the devil knocking on the back door, what is?
DeLuca—who fronts, fittingly enough, the Rocco DeLuca Band—grew up obsessed by the music of old Delta blues musicians and white guitar pickers from Appalachia. He rarely strays far from those sources, whether he’s singing exquisitely rendered ballads such as “Bus Ride” or screaming like a wounded banshee in “How Fast.” Even when he gets trippy with loops and delays and pedals, it doesn’t sound like some techno wonk monkeying with effects so much as a genuinely curious musician intent on exploring different places. That’s what drew the attention of Kiefer Sutherland, who signed DeLuca to his production company, Ironworks Records.
“The first time I heard him, I had this really individual, deeply personal, emotional reaction,” Sutherland says. “To be transported someplace else by someone’s music is pretty special. The way he approaches his songs [and] his sense of imagery and style is something I’ve never heard before. Not that other people haven’t done it, but I haven’t heard it. He just gets it. And he’s a monster of a guitar player
I FOUND OUT IT ISN'T A BAND, IT'S JUST THIS ONE GUY.
