So curious about all the names being batted around that I joined an internet forum at 3:40am. Doesn't get any nerdier. Here's everyone I've heard mentioned realistically or humorously, some here. Who else!? guitar: Dan Murphy (SoulA), Prince, Neil Young, Keef, Bob Mould, Peter Buck, Ward Dotson of the Pontiac Bros, Tommy Keene, Dave Minehan (Paul/Neighborhoods), Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars/Black Crowes), Kevin Bowe, Nels Cline (Fibbers/Wilco), Jeff Tweedy (the Primitives & ?), Har Mar Superstar the rumor starter, Terry Fisher (Run Westy Run) drums: Josh Freese (everyone), Michael Bland (Prince/Paul/SoulA), Jon Wurster (Superchunk), Atom Willard (RFTC but sadly not in the reunited version playing Riotfest), Bobby J (Run Westy Run), Peter Anderson (Honeydogs/Golden Smog) From a fun one-off from many moons ago.....  (the walrus was Paul but I was he that night) |

Kevin Bowe and Peter Anderson. They did a superb job on the 'Songs for Slim' EP, so why not?

Dave and Christine from Marah. Saw them play a similar role for Blue Mountain last year and they were absolutely terrific. Plus Christine's drumming is Grandpaboy-esque…
Or, Russell Keith Hopkinson and David Daniel Lane from You Am I.

It seemed to be a source of onstage friction during the last tour. I remember Paul getting upset as Bowe lost his way and flubbed solos in songs like Swinging Party and I Will Dare. |

Todd Youth is one name that hasn't been brought up. Terrific player with similar influences who's performed with artists ranging from Motorhead to Glen Campbell. He did a great job on the MATS CITY tribute during the CMO screenings.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHCciuB0OkQ That was my old friend Paul Johnson on guitar there with the Waxing Poetics...back in the day. NEWER CLIP OF Paul Johnson of Norfolk, Va, at recent Waxing Poetics reunion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJefY_iVB_0*someone didn't tell me til afterwards, so I was diggin' on this!!!!They wuz my frienz! The singer,Dave Middleton, and I used to worked at the 2 rekkerd stores in the mall, and I seemed to always see him jogging about town(looks like he stopped.)He was a great lyricist and friend, quick with a wave and a smile, no matter how drunk I was or wasn't at the time. The drummer, Billy Shearin, was a friend, too, we hung out at Marty Jones' party for New Years...we all watched Night Of The Living Dead together on the television. It was a couples party.....Ooooohhhhh! Sometimes Mike and I'd go hang in Paul Johnson's tiny little house's tiny living room. We could smell the stench of the Elizabeth, and sometimes we could ever smell the nearby river...(BOOM,TISSSHHH!) Well, we love that dirty water...oh Norfolk, your the closest I have to "home...." Paul has a laid-back, easy-going personality, doesn't shout unless you want him to, and has an engaging and amiable stage persona. You can't find a better lad. I think he's in between things for a while...You'd all be pleased to meet him..; ) I "grew up" with this guy as a friend of many years, but despite that, please, he's bored and in-between things. Can vouch for his character. Seriously....Listen to his improvisation! His name is Paul (Tiers) Johnson. I think he'd learn all the songs in two nights...but give him a week!

Too bad the light that shown so brightly on certain areas in the country did not seem to illuminate the brilliant gems that passed through their light; no, instead, and indeed, fair-to-middlin bands got more attention than their originality, talent, song quality, etc should earn them. Anyone shines brightly next to such stars; the reflection is that bright. I ask why the Waxing Poetics, who Mitch Easter liked, who REM liked, Don Dixon liked...things were happening with them, with Funk Junkie...talks of record deals and such...always...I can not tell you of all the near-misses, the twists of fate, but let me tell you all this; SLIM LOVED THAT SCENE, THE SAME ONE i'M FROM, AND FREAKIN SCREAMING TREE WHATS HIS NAME, Foo Fighter, Dave Grohl used to be at all the gigs. Just see it so much around me all the time, people who are already doing fine gets the job, while people who are just as deserving of the job are overlooked for the mere reason that they are already well-known for that, which in turn, means someone who is already doing fine is taking a job that could go to someone the nation's spotlight only illuminated when he played the 1st Ave Eatery...I could roll out of bed and walk around the corner, into the club and belly up to this amazing band practically every week-end for years...saw them, what 50 times maybe? Did anyone actually listen to Paul Johnson's playing?  If you can't see and hear that I'm BLIND, DEAF, AND DUMB! )Haha  ! I heard that! |

Sorry, but this bitch gotta represent for Norfolk, Virginia, Yo!? RIP CAROL TAYLOR at WNOR FM, A HUGE PART OF the Poetic's direction, inspiration, and friend, who died OF a brain tumor and could not live to see them NOT MAKE IT. God rest her sweet and too-cool soul! You will never be forgotten, Carol! xo

I have it on very good authority that the kid is looking for a tv now, please, anyone in the Tidewater area, does anyone have a simple tv to spare a musician who can't stop playing and writing? IF we can't et him this gig, maybe I can get him a TV?
