SXSW final thoughts: Patrick Beach
Memo to every 20-something guy in a band: I don’t care if you don’t have enough quarters to do your reeking bag full of laundry. I don’t care if the van needs an alternator before you can get to the show in Dallas tomorrow. Go to the CVS, buy shaving cream and a razor and use them. Just wet your face, squirt the cream on and drag the razor across your mug until the hair comes off. Half the young men I saw around town and onstage looked like they were about to star in some high school play about Abraham Lincoln, with clumpy, glued-on-looking and tragically ill-conceived facial hair. Even if your girlfriend says she likes it, she doesn’t. And neither do we.
Single favorite moment of the week: Watching some guy definitely of enough years to know better stage-dive during the X show Saturday night at Emo’s. You know, old time’s sake. We wish him a speedy recovery.
