I saw Vic Chesnutt on Friday. What an amazing show.
I had never heard of him before Thursday. He was performing for free at our Art Institute. What a great show and group he had with him. Several members of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Silver Mt. Zion, and Fugazi.

2. Vic is an Athens, GA legend
When I lived there in the early 90's I was in a Black Sabbath cover band w/ him for about 5 minutes before we both moved on. "Isadora Duncan" is my favorite song of his; perfect..

3. Shirley Manson shoved him out of his wheelchair once while they were drunk
Minutes before she met the other members of Garbage.

4. On top of it all, he is just a nice guy....
I have met him several times as my best friend is in a band from Athens and actually recorded an album with him. Vic is a great guy, great music. I hope more people become familiar with his music.

5. I met him briefly after the show.
He seemed like a very sincere, sensitive, and nice guy.

6. When 'About to Choke' was released (mid '90's) I drove my friends
crazy by refusing to remove it from my car's CD player. He's not everyone's cup o' tea but I like his stuff. :-)
