I Have Heard the Future of Baby Boomer Comic Folk Rock, And It's Called 'Modern Man'
I recently heard the group "Modern Man" play in NY, after hearing the group's three members on the invaluable WFUV. I told my son, when we heard them plug a show the next day at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, "We've got to go hear them," so we did.
The group does hilarious, intelligent songs on matters of the human condition. David Buskin, Rob Carlson and George Wurzbach showcase their ability to play in different styles, switching effortlessly between reggae, rap, Springsteen raves and beach music, quite an accomplishment for a trio. Then again, [note to Modern Man: here's a great quote to put on your albums or promotional materials] "Modern Man is the greatest power trio I've heard since Grand Funk Railroad redefined rock n' roll in the late 1960s." What thoughtful KT reader wouldn't enjoy "Jews Don't Camp" or "Worst Dominatrix in L.A."? They even go into political matters, with "Abdul the Reluctant Martyr" getting a music video.
I even paid Modern Man the highest compliment possible: I bought one of their CDs.
The guys tour constantly -- the website keeps an up-to-date list of appearances, so find one and go support these guys. Remember, if Van bought their CD, they've GOT to be good. Below, two Modern Men in action, tearing the roof off Lincoln Center and driving the crowd into an Upper West Side tush-shaking frenzy.

I am trying to get people together to take part in A Week of Positive Blogging, from Nov. 4th to Nov. 10th 2007. The idea is for bloggers all over the world to join in blogging everyday during that week about positive things that are going on in the world. There are a list of topics that have been chosen for each day of the week that can be found at my blog. Hochmah and Musar
It is my hope that this will be a way to show the positive things that are taking place in various communities around the world. Also, we want to do what the media often does not do and that is show that there are also positive people doing what they can to help others.
If you you have a blog it would be great if you would participate. If you know someone with a blog please pass this on to them. To see the details and join in on what we are trying to do go here.
Regards,
Ehav Ever

Then again, Ann Miller in "On the Town" sang:
"Modern man is not for me,
The movie star or Dapper Dan.
Give me a healthy joe from long ago,
A prehistoric man."
