A while back I was listening to the Band’s song “Life Is a Carnival”:
And, you know, sometimes Ls sound like Rs, and Levon’s drawl makes the vowels a little squirrelly, so for a moment I heard it as “life is a carnivore.” And I thought to myself: What a great title. I want to use that as the title for something.
So now I have. That’s it. That’s the post.
Some 20 years ago Playboy did a decade-by-decade history of Rock ‘n Roll series, at the end of it they called The Band the Greatest Band in the history of RnR.
