Question: What are "Citizens"? Alex.
Two new photo albums on the sidebar over there. No, the other side. Down a bit. A little more. There.
The Citizen Cope concert was another WXPN Free-At-Noon concert last Friday. Packed house and they took all the tables and chairs out. Not cool when it's a lunch-time concert and you don't have anywhere to eat your box lunch. Luckily the balcony still had tables. I ended up staying in the balcony to watch the concert, which explains why the pictures didn't come out as nice as I would have liked. That and the fact that Citizen Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) wouldn't stop moving and I didn't want to use my flash. Photos here.
The concert itself was great. Cope reminds me a lot of Philly's own G. Love. Actually, Cope's backing band reminded me a lot of G. Love's band, Special Sauce, but Cope wasn't as r & b-ish as G. Love. Cope has a funked-up talking-blues kind of thing going on. Imagine if instead of going electric, Dylan went funk. That's kind of what Citizen Cope sounds like.
I already posted about the Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. Kind of hard to take good shots in something as big as a ball park, and I was too interested in the game to take a lot of shots. Hey, I love taking pictures but not as much as watching baseball! Photos here.
