Brandeis Concerts Aren't What They Used to Be

I remember one time when I was at Brandeis, in '97 I think, when Counting Crows, They Might Be Giants, and Adam Sandler all performed concerts within a few days of each other. But according to this week's Justice, the 'deis isn't aiming quite so high anymore. They will host five bands over two days, with Flogging Molly* headlining, and Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, Bedouin Soundclash and Zox.

Come on 'deis, can't you do better than that?

*Reminds me of a story I forgot to tell here. When Becca and I were in Chicago last month, we saw a couple in our hotel elevator who had a small baby. The father was wearing a Flogging Molly t-shirt, while at the same time holding his daughter, whose name was... Molly. There's something hugely wrong with that picture, like if someone's favorite movie was "Boxing Helena," and they named their daughter Helena.

and of course, who could forget George Clinton and his favorite food?

There's already something hugely wrong with a person whose favorite movie is "Boxing Helena."
