Memorial day weekend tribute show...
Tonight I decided to do a tribute show to people who had passed on, in honor of Memorial Day, and in particular Desmond Dekker, who died yesterday at 64. I got more requests than I usual. It was a nice show.
I did play new songs as well, and those were not really tribute songs... no one had died (except that Built to Spill's former dummer Andy Capps died Friday as well -- but he didn't play on the track I played.)

"Song for a Future Generation" is a great B-52's tune for saluting the late Ricky Wilson, since that's one on which he clearly identifies himself, and also states a few preferences. (I wonder what kind of computer he had?)
