the williams bros

[David]

I saw the Williams Bros. (I used to call them the Willies) open for Suzanne Vega in wherever, the Wiltern or something, many yrs ago. She's really cruddy. I blame her for being the seminal figure in the Whiny, Self-Confessional School of Girl Singer-Songwriters that ultimately split out into Lilith Fair & other crap-confessional directions. But the Willies played some good rock & roll that night. They played their song Some Become Strangers & other stuff from that album (which I have mostly forgotten). In the corner of my mind, I was hoping Nicks, Stevie would show up, but no go & no show. This was back in the late 1980s.
