Dear John Letters

I am not a big concert goer. I think in my life time I have been to three including the 80's Punk Rock group Oingo Boingo when they played  at Luther College. A wonderful lady got me a ticket for that concert. They do not sing about roping goats like most of the people I listen to. Concerts have never fired me up, probably because I do not like to deal with large crowds. Although, as Lincoln once said, "I like to be alone in a crowd".

Any way, If I were to go to a concert now I would probaly go to either a John Prine concert, or maybe even go to watch Iris Demente. Iris Dementes voice haunts me, and I think Prine may be the best song writer of my generation. Here is a duet by them called "In Spite of Ourselves".
