I have been a fan since nearly the start and have never heard of anyone being actually offended by the name. More goofy than anything. I think Patterson might be reaching a bit.
Great write up. I really enjoyed it. Man... I remember Spin ran a survey for its readers around this time with the question, "which musician do you think will die by the end of the year?" Elliot was on the list with Weiland etc. I remember being totally disgusted with the magazine and the press that covered his career post XO.
Hold Steady have a new live album out today on bandcamp as well https://holdsteady.bandcamp.com/?fbclid=IwAR2DxvPrZjMWIOf2TjvP-jDheITXAETdvY0WqiIXi2DTFkW7lyfZq9SpBaA
Can't wait. Looks like the original will be released too. If anyone is ever interested check out Glyn Johns first cut of the Get Back album. I wish they would have released that instead of the Let it Be Naked album.
Great interview and always interesting tunes coming from him. However, I find it kinda weird that he hates his label so much given they bought the anime film of his for over a mill. Maybe they took it out of an advance or royalties or something?!
Great write up. I am looking forward to getting into it. However, the singles released so far have left me a bit cold. Saying this one is their weakest is not much of a negative though. TI's discography is incredible.
