Go Ahead Punks, Make My Night and Ask The Boxmasters a Question

Tonight at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, I will be serving as the moderator/host/resident Jewish guy for a very special interview and performance by The Boxmasters.

Ladies and gentlemen, I LOVE the Boxmasters. In fact, I've been called "The 4th or 5th Boxmaster" -- though the band and my wife are currently in court disputing this title. In any case, I've had the pleasure of knowing this exciting hillbilly rock power trio for over a year now -- or in Boxmasters time, three-double albums and a Christmas collection ago. Seriously, Prince looks at these guys, and says, "Another double album? Slow down already boys, you're gonna hurt yourselves." That's right, folks, The Boxmasters are so damn good -- and so prolific -- they've actually turned Prince into a paternally concerned older Jewish gentleman.

Despite what you might have heard from random bloggers, media bastards and other non-American troublemakers, The Boxmasters are a wonderfully cool and sincere band and in my personal experience, they're fantastic guys too. But because as far as I know, I'm not actually getting paid for this gig tonight, I've decided to allow all of you -- yes, even Canadians with the proper papers -- to send me your best questions for me to consider. I promise to use at least the best, most illuminating question that I get, and to give you full credit onstage and pay you absolutely nothing for your time and trouble.

And really ladies and gentleman, when it comes right down to it, isn't that what blogging is all about?

Wow!

When this story broke out there were a zillion comments posted. Here I am alone. I feel like those drummer boys (No pun intended, Mr. Thorton) in the civil war battles but with no one else is charging with me.

Well, here I come . . . snair drum in hands . . . trying to keep my clean uniform from getting mud stains on it . . . the flute player is over jamming with Jethro Tull apparently . . .

Mmmm . . . smells like barbequed ribs . . . I think they got rice though.

Hello,

I'm Canadian. Personally, what Mr. Thorton said was not as insulting as one would make it out to be. In fact, it was funny. Potatoes and gravy. Simply odd.

Jian Gomeshi is one of my favorite media personalities. He's always had a great demeanor and he's got great taste in music.

My question is: Would Mr. Thorton agree to jam with him as a sign of good faith and in to official bury a hatchet that was more like a dirty butter knife served acccidently by a bus boy?

Have fun tonight!

LOL! well I am too late with my question and I too wasn't angry but rather amused with B"god"..I mean really..un­believable­..haha..my question would have been how on earth do these real musicians put up with the insecure over compensated ego of this guy?.

Hey I know we starve and opportunity should be greeted but I would rather slave the water holes than sell my soul to such self serving ambition.

Ditch God Boxmasters­..free yourself and best wishes onward!.
