Re: G.P's review of KLOBUCHAR'S MYSPACE



Hey Michael, a tepid review by a guy with conventional taste in guitar, and perhaps an addiction to the thrill of stunt guitar weedly, weeedly, the players he usually features would give evidence to that, is a Good Thing!  It’s a call to arms, by someone trying to critique what you do based on conventional notions of form.  He obviously hasn’t been spinning any Henry Kaiser, or Fred Frith platters lately I would venture to guess. I read a great interview with guitarist Earl Slick one time, and he was talking about his tenure with John Lennon (lucky bastard) and Yoko Ono in specific.  He said something to the effect that most people simply don’t get abstract music, it makes them uncomfortable and even scares them, and in a way Yoko’s music was savaged because people were judging it in the context of John Lennon’s work which was absurd. He went on to praise Yoko both for her creativity and her character.  Scoots, the guitar world needs more nuts of your variety in the great guitar nut bowl. Now don’t go learning Samba Pa Ti unless you really twist it around.
