Rocking the I-91 Corridor

I don't write concert reviews, but I went to two great shows this weekend, and while the guy sitting to my left or right (depending on the show) was hard at work, I, too, learned a couple of things:

#1 According to Lyle Lovett, heard on Saturday night at the Calvin Theater in Northampton, the best apple pie can be found at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Mass. It's apparently second only to his cousin Wilbert's apple pie, which he admitted was difficult to get, since "you have to know him."

#2 It's not unusual for Jeff Tweedy, seen on Sunday night at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, to think that people in the front row are so excited to see Wilco that they've peed themselves.

#3 Buying a band T-shirt and putting it on immediately is kinda lame. I mean, we know you're a Wilco fan, and we all saw those T-shirts on sale downstairs, so just put it on at home, dude. The above sticker may just be the greatest band sticker ever, though.

#4 John Hiatt likes cheese. Also he wrote "Have a Little Faith in Me," not Jewel, which I did not know.

#5 Beer-swilling Wilco fans over 50 rival drunk college kids at football games in terms of sheer loud-mouthed annoyingness.

For much less randomly subjective reviews of these shows, you'd be advised to read ERD's thoughts.
