So Much for the Afterglow

While watching the NCAA championship last night, I was tickled to hear Everclear's "AM Radio" on a GM ad. But because I am a cynical wench, I couldn't help but think that Art had indeed jumped the shark.

Not that there should be any doubt he hadn't already. Not only did he manage to drive away two of the original members, replace them with unknowns, and continue to tour under the EC name... But I swear he rerecorded "AM Radio" for the ad. With himself only as the backup vocals. That's some cheap maneuvering, there, Art. If he had released the version on "Songs...1", he would have had to pay the others royalties. Cheep bastiage.

Yet, I still felt a pang of melancholy when I learned Everclear would be performing locally.

For being a casino, Harrah's certainly makes it out to be just another club lounge. It will be interesting if both Everclear and Harrah's will be worth the hype.

Stay tuned!
