what the Helen of Troy was that about?

letter to New Orleans musician Trombone Shorty
aka Troy Andrews.

hello Troy,

I read about you in some of my recent research for coming to New Orleans.

I am coming to make some new walking works as part of an art residency with Tulane University. I read your walking piece/article in a newspaper -- would you be interested in taking a walk and showing me some of your neighborhoods?

Sorry I will miss your upcoming SF performance dates but I hope to see you in New Orleans. I am a San Francisco artist & I work with many musicians on the project Rock & Roar.

Well I cannot seem to get your email address from your band website (was up the other week but not tonight).

If you want to talk or take a walk as part of my new art project with Tulane Univ, please give me a call or email.

Happy New Year!
Anne Devine

giving it away

yes getting ready for Kings of Leon tomorrow night at The Warfield. I keep thinking about how things intersect and feed, seed.

I first heard of Kings of Leon through Chrissie Hynde.

WARFIELD
CHRISSIE HYNDE
KINGS of LEON
HUTCHENCE, INXS
BRUCE COCKBURN
ROCK & ROAR

SB: [laughs] But you were inducted into the Hall [Rock & Roll Hall of Fame] by Neil Young.

CHRISSIE HYNDE: That was the good part. It was absolutely amazing. I mean, getting to play with Neil--it was worth 25 years of playing for that moment.

SB: Were you surprised that he said he was inspired by you guys?

CHRISSIE HYNDE: I think it's the other way around. Is that what he said?

SB: Yeah.

CHRISSIE HYNDE: You know, I guess it works like that in the rock game. I met Kings of Leon recently, and I said to them, "Wow, you guys. Thanks for getting me through the last year of my life." And they said, "Thanks for getting us through high school." That really cheered me up.
