I thought I would look on the website of 'City Pages', the free alternative weekly paper in Minneapolis/St. Paul, for anything on the Go-Betweens, particularly in regards to the appearance that Grant McLennan and Robert Forster made at the 400 Bar in 1999. Sure enough, there was a preview: http://citypages.com/databank/20/966/article7661.asp and a response to the same, citing a misquote of lyrics in 'The Wrong Road': http://citypages.com/letters/detail.asp?TID=609 There is more! You may or may not enjoy a reaction to the release of FORW here: http://citypages.com/databank/21/1033/article8998.asp And here is a blog entry from the current pop music reviewer at CP in regards to that great loss to us all here: http://blogs.citypages.com/ctg/2006/05/grant_mclennan.asp | ||

Thanks, Elizabeth. Interesting pieces, although the writer was annoying and fairly loose with his facts. | ||

You are welcome, Kurt! Ah, yes, some of the reviewers at our local 'alternative newspaper' have had 'attitudes', to say the least. But the best part was to find so many links in the blog entry about Grant McLennan: all of which still work --- ! | ||

I really like the FORW review, even if I bristle at Grant and Robert being called "old men" when they were only about 41. That's laying it on a bit but, hey, this music is usually the province of the super young. |
