One of my new year’s resolutions was to avoid NPR, National Prozac Radio (and the Prozac part is that you need Prozac to keep listening). I turned on the radio this morning Weekend Edition Saturday has host Scott Simon interviewing a band called The Whigs. He explains that they’re from Georgia and they record on the label of “another Southern rocker, Dave Matthews.” I’ve never been a big Dave Matthews fan, but I do remember hearing that he is from South Africa. So, Scott, I suppose you’re right, Dave Matthews is a Southern Rocker technically. My favorite Southern Rockers are Ladysmith Black Mambazo. And nobody defines the West Coast sound like Youssou N’Dor.
