So last night [info]rawrin and I went to see Emmylou Harris. She's touring with Patty Griffin and Shawn Colvin (and Buddy Miller, but he was sick), and they all took turns playing favorite songs, and it was a fantastic show. It was the kind of show that makes you feel like maybe you could do something creative really well, like, genius level, and maybe you'll run right out and do it as soon as the show is over.

But I sure would like to know what makes people think they have to yell shit during concerts. For chrissake, who heckles Emmylou Harris? Sometimes I want to shake Boston.

Also, Patty Griffin has this song called "Mary," which I had never heard before, and the three sang it all together as the final encore song. It starts off with a whole bunch of this: "Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes, you're covered in rain, you're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes... Etc.

I was fine up to "covered in babies," at which point, my brain started going, "I'm covered in bees!" and I couldn't shut it up. Kind of ruined the last song for me, but still, great show.

I'd never heard of a boy called Mary either, but then I thought maybe she's a Johnny Cash fan and she's into "A Boy Named Sue" and then I went "oh a song". Ah.

And now you've had a Covered in Bees moment. I'm going to consider it a thing.

And also fix my typo.

Wow - Emmylou was one of the first concerts I ever went to. My brother took me back when we were both in our early 20s. Hard to believe she's been around *that* long!
