Before anyone knew who Joan Osbourne was, she was playing in and
around New York City with her first band. I believe Joan was in her
prime at this time. I have never met Joan Osborne, no more than most
any of the other thousands who had the pleasure of watching her smoke
every other chick on the NYC music scene when the calendar started
with a 19 and not a 20. All the thousands that used to enjoy catching
Joan live at Wetlands, Delta, Continental Divide and Gonzales and many
other places, as I have heard. It seemed like you could catch her
somewhere at least once a week and sometimes even twice. They heard
the voice of an angel - albeit a dirty angel that sang with a leer
and a wink. Those gigs were hot, and, probably, nothing else compared
to hearing her in a smoke-filled dive, watching her hips sway as she
torched the joint with her sheer joy at being alive. She could take
that room up and down and all around, and you wouldn't hit the head
for fear of missing a moment. You know need to know that this is Joan,
'straight no chaser'! But of course, things always change... and then
again somethings never do. I would have to say that if you ever have
a chance to see her live, do yourself a favour and go!
