Mel Larson He zips the coat up so you can read "Nowhere" on the front, i.e he's a real nowhere man (he made more money from the cover than any other song he's done). The gloves are just a joke, like how little kids have them clipped on so they won't lose them.
@cherokeeflan5 ай бұрын
Before he zipped up the coat it seemed to read “NOW HERE” and then the zipping up joins the two words into “NOWHERE.” Also, no way did he make more money off of “Nowhere Man” than his own songs, since he wouldn’t have gotten publishing royalties on it. Lorde covered “Swingin’ Party” and it had over 50 million plays on Spotify, while it’s now bizarrely also the most streamed ‘Mats track with over 30 million plays of their original version.

roflmana Jimmy Anton. A reliable player asked by Paul and Michael I guess for this one appearance. He's Twin Cities - based and I know he traveled extensively and appeared on TV with Johnny Lang. By the way I last saw him this past winter at a Minneapolis American Legion sitting in with Willie Murphy. Saturday night, low key dance hall, audience of about 15, but super funky.
@jeanfid8 жыл бұрын
First time I saw Bland play was in about 1986 with a band called Bathoscope at the Uptown Bar (RIP). When he sat down at the kit I thought the stool was gonna bust. He proceeded to lay it down like I've never seen before or since. The entire bar--floors walls ceiling--shook like no one's business. He's the best IMHO. Anton has played with so many local bands I can't name them all. Extremely funky. First time I heard him was with Paul Metsa's old band back in the mid 80's as well. Never seen these two lay it down together. This is deep shit.
