Politics, Culture, and Other Wastes of Time

For those of us who have been in a fishbowl since the mid-1990s, it may come as a surprise that REM is no longer the hippest band out of Athens, Ga. That distinction, from what I gather, belongs to The Drive-By Truckers, a band I am just now getting familiar with.

The Drive-By Truckers will be performing at The Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC (just outside Chapel Hill) on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (May 13 and 14).

They head to one of my favorite cities Charleston, SC, at the Music Forum on May 15. Later on in their tour, they will be at in Denver (June 14), Vancouver (June 27),Milwaukee (July 3), and Oslo, Norway (July 30).

This video is for their song "Never Gonna Change."

NOTE: This video festival will resume with the sixth entry next week. Since we had a major storm last night in the Greensboro, NC-Danville, Va. area last night, I thought about posting a Native American rain dance video. But, since someone alas actually died in a storm-related traffic accident last night, I thought it might be in bad taste....!
