09/20/2010 - Joe Mac and Eman: The Return of the Balls
Hello. Its been way too long since my last blog. I guess it takes the return of one of the greatest road shows of all time to get me back on the blogisphere. That's right. The balls are back. Don't go there? Really? I mean...really?? You can't "go there" if you are already there. It's done "and there's nothing we could do". Are you following me? Well, I may be sounding a bit too grandiose, but that is the legacy of "One Too Many." All those dusty fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants road warrior, living the dream movies...We did that- what feels like a life time ago, but suddenly seems like yesterday. If we were smart, we'd let it live on in infamy. Instead we endeavor to dig it up, towel it off and beat the shit out of it. Cuz what else is life for, but to blow it. None of this is possible without Bravehearts. They were arguably baptized in the waters at Joe's Pub. And so that is why we go back. There are signs that we might not blow it for it feels as this thing is coming together "on its own". Of course the will is there, Eman and I reminisce probably too often about those by-gone days. We wanted to go back to the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, where that storied tour began with a shot of 151 proof that I can still feel. So we booked it. But we all know it started in NYC...don't we? At a place where only "serious artists" perform. Cred acts... What was Joey McIntyre doing at Joe's Pub? asked The Village Voice, "Spoken word?" For surely, he does not belong there. We have forgiven that writer. That writer can now purchase the cult Live CD by Joe Mac and Eman "One Too Many- LIVE from New York" for $50.00 on eBay, cuz ya can't get 'em anywhere else. Maybe he'll get it when he listens. (No I will not get down off this horse). But don't fret! I am not mad. What matters is that Joe's Pub invited us into their special space and we celebrated. They invited us back...and we broke their internet. That's not nice. The Bravehearts were gathered atop the hillside waiting for the on-sale...Joe's Pub got an On-slaught instead. Thankfully, they accommodated us graciously. We are a raucous bunch but we appreciate a roof over our heads and a good drink. (What?) He's lost his ever loving mind, you say. Only partly true, I protest, for it is not everyday you unearth a legend so great as you may risk the very fiber of your very soul. We will meet again on an autumn eve and see just how real that fabled tale is. Now, make ready your harvest. And God speed. GOD SPEED!!http://www.joeymcintyre.com/news.php?article=37
