So Jubilee!Jam was off the chain, right? You spent Sunday recovering either from all the beer and noise or the regret of not showing, and now here you are at work or play, either wishing you showed up two hours earlier and drank some more fluids, or kicking yourself for missing out on a major a social and cultural event 3 miles from your front door. Don’t worry, in the inaugural edition of the Music blog, I’ll catch you up to speed:
My night was cut short by all the rain, but I was able to catch a couple shows before I had to leave and prepare for Saturday.

Blind Melon‘s new lead singer delivers his best impression of the deceased Shannon Hoon, who held down the lead singer spot during the band’s breakthrough years before dying of a drug overdose in 1995. I must admit, as an old fan I and was skeptical that anyone could deliver like Melon tracks quite like Hoon. But Travis Warren pulled off Blind Melon staples like “Change”, “Tones of Home” and “No Rain.” So, a classic early 90s alternative rock is quite literally resurrected from the grave. I should be thrilled.
But I’m not.

I wish I’d seen the Blind Melon set but could not attend. My 13 yr old has been getting into some late 80s early 90s stuff and the other night we blew the dust off Don’t Cry (GnR) Shannon Hoon”s vocals made that song.

OK, folks, I don’t know what’s up here, but I’ll talk to Bryan. Meantime, please send any e-mails complaining about stories or facts within to me at ladd (at) jacksonfreepress (dot) com, so I confirm what you’re saying and post corrections as needed. The wrong name was corrected in the paper this week, but Bryan is new and didn’t know to correct online.
