Grace in the Idaho Statesman (I am not making the “Statesman” thing up)

Don’t divorce you’re wife just because I said one line.

You said this Gov’t Mule run is your first tour on a real bus. Are you on the bus now? It’s so quiet.

I am. And I’m not wearing any underwear.

You could have told me that earlier.

That would have made a different interview.

Grace must have been on the phone for what? Five minutes? And in that time she manages to convey, authenticity, fun and a wicked sense of humor.

Small piece of “Gold Dust Woman”

    Am thinking Grace could step back a few generations and fit right in - and that’s intended as a compliment. Still working on the music but am definitely a fan of the woman herself.

    And that begs a question - am assuming I’m not the only one who does this - why do we instantly connect to some artists the first time we hear them, and have to work at appreciating others ? An obvious answer is a sense of familiarity but that can work against as well as for so don’t think that is the whole equation.
    If someone whose opinion I respect likes an artist I didn’t initially connect with, I’m always willing to spend some time trying to figure out what they are hearing that I’m missing. Sometimes it works - Tom Waits, The Racontuers - sometimes it doesn’t - Dave Mattews.
    Shutting up now and going out to enjoy the sunny day.
    Grace seems to be joining Tom btw.

    That chick is boss. I love her attitude and “realness”. I must have been under a rock but I had no idea that she’s legally blind.

    I’ve come to really like many of GPTN songs. She’s in my Sara Bareilles category although Grace is like Sara’s big, bad step-sister.

    R.E.M. Winona. Grace. Hmmm? What next? Taylor Hicks Dancing Monkeys? (Ed. Note: like that?)

    AH, You really must see Grace live - and I mean that. It changes everything. I would recommend the 28th, 29th or 31st in Burlington, VT.

    So is this no underwear thing a common thing? If so, I would like those to be front row center tickets. ;) Seriously though, she has a great attitude, let us hope the industry doesn’t beat it out of her.

    Kired, there are a lot more important things happening on this blog right now than my tits.

    Or something.

    *smirk* Gotta love a woman who’s open about her camel toe issues. *snicker* And there is nothing more important than tits, they are one of the largest reasons men do anything at all. Or as a musical sentiment, “You know that ain’t no shit we’ll be getting lots of tit In Grease Lightning.”

    I love a good attitude !
