This was worth the hour and half drive. Johnette's performance was better then I could have hoped for. I don't remember every song she preformed at the moment but it will come to me as time goes by. But I do remember Joey, The title track from her upcoming solo album, an insane drum and dance version of Tomorrow Wendy a version of Mexican Moon that damn near brought me to tears.
I had the opportunity to speak with Johnette who was a very warm and receptive person. She seemed so touched the people where there. Yes I got the autograph and the picture as well as taking the opportunity to find out from the source how the Johnette/Bad Religion collaboration came about. Turns out that Johnette and James of Concrete Blonde worked at a pressing planet during the recording of How Could Hell Be Any Worse... and Brett and the band gleaned some info from them at the time and they have remained friends ever since. This was an wonderful time that I will not forget. I know this is very weak but I either do a short run or I will go on for hours. If you are in the area of NY/NJ Johnette will be appearing on WFUV tomorrow (5/16) at 1:30 I highly recommend you check it out.
