Rob Crow - February 28th, 2007 in Cambridge, MA (1056 words)
For those not in the know, Rob Crow is a multi-instrumentalist, and musical genius, who, generally, writes warm and simple pop songs, and performs them in the most disjointed and convoluted ways possible.
However for his encore, a tired Crow returned to the stage alone, and, after warning the audience he was risking an embolism, ran through two sincere, although irreverent, covers: "Astro Zombies" by The Misfits, and "Minor Threat" by Minor Threat.
The secret of Rob Crow remained safely in the hearts of those forty fans who came out to TT the Bear's, and despite Rob Crow's recent surrender into his own pleasant pop world, I'm pretty sure there will be no tour bus present at his next solo performance.
