Lou Barlow[wiki] has been a guy that I’ve been following for a long time, but I fear that I am going to completely embarrass myself right now. It wasn’t until this past Friday that DaveO gave me the full back story on the guy, and I discovered that Barlow was one of the founding members of Dinosaur Jr.[wiki], a piece of rock and roll history that has alluded me up until now.
Like any bit of discovery that I stumble into like that, I try to get the complete story as much as I can. Venturing down the YouTube route, I found this clip of Dinosaur Jr. performing on the Jenny Jones Show. Wait, what the… Jenny Jones? Yeah, that floored me, too.
So many years of flipping through CDs at the store and thumbing through station libraries, always thinking, “Hey, I should give that a spin sometime.” I never did, and now the price is being paid. I feel like I should be flogged.
