The other day I was coming home from a show performed by a local band and a friend of mine came up with this brilliant game. Well, it's not so much a game as it is a hypothetical situation. Anyway, she posed this question: If you could put together a concert consisting of any three acts that you would pay any amount of money for, who would you pick?
It didn't take me long to respond:
Counting Crows, Bruce Springsteen, and Regina Spektor
After mentioning the "game" to a few other people and putting my iPod on shuffle, I realized there needed to be more to it.
First, I've decided that the artist(s) can be dead. Because it's completely unrealistic anyway. Why not bring someone back from the dead?
Second, I've decided there needs to be kind of a wild card pick. When "Hands Clean" came blasting through the speakers in my car I found it very hard to exclude Alanis Morissette from my list. For a long time I've been ashamed to admit that I love her after hearing Jimmy Fallon rip her to shreads with a pretty accurate whiny impersonation of her on Saturday night live. While I wanted to add Alanis, I didn't see anyway I could get rid of my favorite band, The Boss, or Miss Spektor. So if you can't subtract, you must add. At least that's the conclusion I've made.
Though I'm nearly two years late on seeing this for the first time, this is just further support for Alanis:

I'd love to hear who you guys would like to see live.
That is all.
