Next up: Joel Gion of The Dilettantes and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
I haven’t seen Joel perform as part of the former, but I did in Sweden (at Hulsfred) in 2006, when he appeared on stage with the latter.
I wanted to whack-him. Such smugness. He looked like he didn’t give the slightest shit. He stood there, tamborine in hand, head back at at 20 degree tilt… and rhythmically playing the tamborine was all he did for the entire gig.
Someone’s even set up an organisation called “The Church of Gion“! You can see his in-performance stance and pose on YouTube here.
