The great thing about living in a large city, (even if it is Salt Lake) is the opportunities for culture. In my old home of Twin Falls, Idaho, culture was sitting on the canyon rim with a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon after a dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Tonight, I was able to go downtown to see one of the legends of Bluegrass, Earl Scruggs, play at the Gallivan Center's free Twilight Concert Series. Yes I went alone. Yes it was worth it. They finished with Foggy Mountain Breakdown (what else COULD he finish with) and I felt chills. I can break down my live musical experiences into two categories. Shows that meant alot to me, and shows that would mean alot to ANYONE because you knew you were seeing a legend. The latter was the case tonight. Yes, I saw Widespread Panic a week ago and it was incredible, but when you go up to Joe Green Jello and tell him that, he won't give a fuck. However, certain artists you see and know that you are lucky to have seen them. Bob Dylan falls into this category. And now he has been joined by Earl Scruggs. Many people don't know his name, but it won't take much to realize that he is the last remaining legend of a musical artform that, let's face it, could go the way of polka. I can't understand why all these fringe musical styles like bluegrass, flamenco, folk, blues have all found their way into the fusion of pop music, yet Polka can't buy a piece? But I digress, back to the show. At 82 years old, I knew that this man was a link to previous Bluegrass legends like Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt. They are gone, but Earl Scruggs is still around, and his brand of music should mean something to every fan of good music everywhere.
