Mark(c) Cohn vs the drunken b-log

Bla-iz-zog. I ran into my friend Matty at the old Riverview Wine Bar and his repeated use of the term "cell block" has fueled by creativeness.

Marc Cohn...he walked upon Memphis. He saddled something. Got stung in an undercover illegal operaion, Out ran the cops.s Got in some sort of ill-conceived litigations and still...to this day, the popularity of one overtly (I thought long and hard bout that word choice) popular pop song couldn't drag him out of despair?!?

Memphis, I hear, is the shiz. The place to have iced tea and think. The place to see porches and bees and angular lumbar...in live action. The place actually feels music.

It's the latter, I don't buy.

I feel music...here. Darren Jackson. PRINCE!! Bob Dylan. Marc Cohn was mis-informed. And I hate incredulousness.

Any many will say...you poor dear piece of mis-informed tra-iz-ash. Marc Cohn doesn't have dick to say about shit. But WHY? WHY is what I say?

'Cause I was walking in Memphis? I was walkin with my feet ten feet off of Beale. Wah-alking in Memphis. But do you really feel the way I feel?

TOO MANY QUESTIONS MARC!!!! Too many questions about a place that is landlocked and is humid.

And, let me bring the wikipedia into play...he was Jewish (it is like the 5th word in the description of this man). I have never wanted to be anything BUT Jewish. My whole life, I have aspired to be Jewish. And I thought being Jewish meant you had to wax your arms (thanks Barb when I was in 2nd grade...U R the best!!!). But fer reals...are we to believe that he resided in residential or urban or industrial or rural Memphis anything and anytime? With a talent like his????? I am thinking,,,,nah uhh.

Marc Cohn performs here in the twin cities twice a year. And we are thankful and reciprocate in selling out his concert venues. But do these people sit there for a whole 3 minutes? And enjoy the one song that energizes this man's career? Thank you Clear Channel for perpetuation of one man's blind ambitions.

ANd the next "just a little something special" reflection will be,,,the Twin Cities Company: Accurate Concrete Sawing. It exists. Get serious about it!

Who ever said Marc Cohn lived in Memphis? Ths song is about one of his trips to Memphis. And Marc Cohn is awesome anyway.
