Over the Rhine

[ralphmelton]

Last night, I found myself reminiscing about the time years ago that Sean, Jeliza, and I saw a concert with Moxy Fruvous and Over the Rhine.

Moxy was pretty good. This was a time when I was still getting familiar with Moxy, and I liked them a lot more than I do now.

Over the Rhine, though, stank on ice. It's possible that they were just having an off day, since they had just had some changes in membership. But that performance was bad, bad, bad.

And the worst of it was that each of the three of us was thinking, "I'm not enjoying this, but the others probably are, and I don't want to spoil their enjoyment." So we waited for about twenty minutes more than we had to before we discovered that we were unanimous in our low opinion and left.


I told Lori about this last night... she was really amused by my use of the phrase "stank on ice".

I am still overly amused at the phrase "stank on ice." I am so amused that I am stitting here in the computer lab at Chatham supressing my giggles.

Stank on ice. It's too funny for no good reason at all. :-)

I'm really amused by it too.

I guess they've gotten better, from what I've heard. Though I still think there were some serious flaws in the way they'd arranged some of their pieces.
