PJ Harvey & Audience

Last night I was at a wonderful show at the Beacon Theatre in NYC, catching up on my rock 'n roll. A gentleman in line (pretending to be in line?) asked, "So, what was her 'hit' song.?" That I can remember, she didn't get much hit radio commercial coverage in her expansive career. It didn't seem to impede her ability to sell out the venue. The searing guitars, infectious rhythm, & her soaring voice seems to reach out despite lack of radio play.

I know, strange I should be talking about a rock star on an eyeglass blog; On the one hand, having a blog can sometimes be an excuse for writing about unrelated events.

On the other hand, because her career now spans almost 2 decades, I did spy among the eclectic crowd a fair share of Gen Xers. Not to dis the efforts of the new generation, but we are from a time when rock was bare bones, raw, and decidedly not pop. To my fellow Gen Xers I saw last night, let me say this: Loved the belts, the leather, & the denim. And if I ever had the gall to approach you, I would let you know that these Reading Sun glasses would compliment your rocker forever look perfectly!
