G. Love Kicks Off Sea.Hear.Now

Written By Doug Dresher

This isn’t the first time I have seen or photographed G. Love and Special Sauce, and I hope it won’t be the last. Why, you ask? Because it is good and happy music. Take a giant, indestructible bubble and securely place it over The Stone Pony. This will help keep the bad vibes out. Book a band that believes in love, funk, and the power of dancing together, have them play for two hours, and you will experience joy. Joy is what we need. In an uncertain world, music can bring us together. And that is the joy of G. Love and Special Sauce. This Friday evening’s show was a kick-off for Sea.Hear.Now. G. Love has set the bar high for all of the weekend’s performances.

One other thing—there is nothing better sounding than a stand-up bass....Nothing.

Born from an existential argument between Modernists and Postmodernists, I have found my home with the post-punks and those who love a good slice of pizza. I live in a world of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and the ever-elusive Decisive Moment. Punctum and Studium aside, I like to take photographs of people and things to see how they look photographed. While I miss both CBGBs and a cool place to bowl in Asbury Park, Punk is still whatever we made it to be. The Future is Unwritten, and I owe it all to Mr. Bradley and Mr. Martin. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (and Women) and ask the Little Prince for his thoughts. Sometimes, I'm On the Road, but if it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d just as well walk. My loving wife supports this albatross of an obsession, and my kids put up with me well. BA, MFA, M.Ed., BCEA, Nikon, FUJI, Tri-X.
