I feel like I have so many projects that I'd like to tackle that it gets difficult to focus on just one at a time. Guess that's why I seem to get so little done. And then there's all the daily chores that take up a lot of my time. By the way, dinner will be around 4:30 PM. Tonight, we're having pinto beans with Cajun sausage...
Battle of the Bands Results
Night and Day
My most recent Battle saw the venerable Rod Stewart go up against the oft-despised Bono and his group U2. Stewart played it safe with his traditional take on the Cole Porter standard. I can't help but like the backing band and the arrangement of Stewart's version and I'm even okay with his gravelly vocals. That's the Rod Stewart I "grew up" with.
On the other hand, Bono takes a rather daring approach that appeals to me. I can hear the pretentiousness that some of you hear, but I just think that's part of the U2 style. I still remember. watching the TV concert at Red Rocks special they did in the eighties and I've liked them ever since. That's who I'm voting for.
I figured this would be a tight Battle since I know so many of my readers have a distaste for U2 and would go for the more traditional sound of Rod Stewart. Me? I like them both, but in this case I just like that U2 sound better.
Final Vote Tally
Rod Stewart 5 votes
U2 10 votes
Well, what about that? I expected a closer race and wasn't sure about the outcome.
I plan to be back for an October 15th Battle and who knows what else. See you when...
