Last night I was once again blown away by the silver fox who is Bill Callahan. Last night, were caught his tour documentary and a short set at the Vogue Theatre. He has been stealing my heart since I was a starry-eyed teenager. In a great coincidence for me, we moved to Austin around the same time in 2005. Over the years I was able to catch many of his shows, including the above in-store at Waterloo Records (remember, Susan?!) and him opening for The Swell Season at The Paramount (a perfect memory from when Eric and I first started dating!). Above is an oldie of his and the cover by Chan Marshall.
He was pretty humorous last night. This being the last leg of a brief tour of LA, Big Sur, and SF, an audience member asked if he liked Big Sur (redwoods + ocean). To which he responded in his cheeky monotone, "I'm the only person who doesn't like Big Sur." Then, "I've seen better." :)
He is sososo impressive live; please go see him if you have the opportunity!
BTW, I had no idea this was going on, but how cool?!! And he helps teach youngins to write? Be still my heart.
