last night i saw members of my favorite band of all time, Sonic Youth, on a television show, The Gilmore Girls. the Gordon-Moores did a little music sketch that included their daughter who is as tall as her mother, and maybe 11 or 12 years old. this little girl i actually observed in the arms of her father as an infant in 1996 backstage at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in golden gate park. to see her so tall, playing bass and looking so cool made me squeal with delight AND gave me pause.
i am watching my favorite musicians' children grow up and i am seeing them become adults. how old am i??
her parents, though categorized as "serious new york no-wave art rockers," are really just goofy and loose and funny and they jumped around like crazed monkeys while she stood stoic, poised and serious with her bass.
yeah, i squealed.
the song they played is from the new record and i just can't WAIT. oh MAN, their sound makes me happier than ANYTHING.
