To: Brian and Monty
From: Scott
I think that the fact we need to compare his to contemporary acts at all and not to the Bruce Springsteen / John Cougar Mellencamp common man's rock and roll it apes is unfortunate. I have no affinity for the common man. I hear in this what people who don't like the Hold Steady hear in them: just a quotation of the old with nothing new to add to it. Bittersweet nostalgia and a hoist of the beer can to the days of yore. Glory days!
Lucero is to the Hold Steady as the Might Bosstones are to Fishbone.
