Chris says: “ECHO IN THE CANYON POWER RANKINGS:
- Tom Petty’s last interview and his infectious fandom for the subject at hand. Man, what a loss.
- Any vintage recording studio footage, esp. The Mamas and The Papas’ immense choral sound.
- Elderly Roger McGuinn still sharp as a tack.
- David Crosby calling himself an asshole.
- Jakob Dylan on stage in a duet with heretofore unknown female singer Jade, who proves nearly Mama Cass’ equal.
- Buffalo Springfield’s goofy swagger in their ’60s televised performances (esp. Neil Young’s ridiculous sideburns.)
- Regina Spektor, Beck and Fiona Apple all bringing their A-game to LA’s Orpheum Theatre on stage with Jakob Dylan and band.
- Spektor, Beck, Dylan and Cat Power pretentiously pouring over and pondering “vintage” vinyl albums in someone’s rented jetset pad.
- Stephen Stills still mush-mouthed as ever.
