I mentioned last week that I was playing a solo show at Pehrspace this Friday. That’s still true, and you can still RSVP on Facebook.
Today, Lord Growing (the guy who is producing the show) posted a new mp3 by me on his website. I titled it “Where U Been?,” and it’s a cover of Arthur Alexander‘s “Where Have You Been (All My Life)?”
Read more about it on the 704 Blog.
I had an interesting conversation with Sarah about my choice for a title. I’m a writer by profession – of educational materials, moreover – so I should know better than to use “U” in a song title. Moreover, it’s a little odd that I decided to replace a perfectly proper title with something silly. I’ve always disliked it when artists use “R”s and “2″s and “U”s.
I told her that I did it as a goof on Prince. It’s a joke!
Nonetheless, she thinks that’s unacceptable. Perhaps there are things about which we oughtn’t joke, like proper grammar and spelling.
She has a point. Can anyone even tell that I’m joking?
