There are some moments in music that just stick in your brain. I remember, freshman year of college, out of sheer boredom I turned on my roommate’s TV to check out Conan. This unknown Kentucky outfit with 80’s era Metallica haircuts and flying v guitars called My Morning Jacket started playing.
I stood up from my bed by the end, unable to remain seated during a performance so ripe with passion (particularly for TV). Even Conan, as I recall, rushed the stage after the last chord and shouted “I am buying this record TOMORROW!”
Love this band.
