Holiday Greetings, 2004; or "The Baby Jesus would want
us to celebrate his birth with Mexican Wrestling Masks."
And
that's all there really is to say about this holiday season.

December 11, 2004, Rochester, NY, Water Street Music Hall
Little Steven's Christmas A Go Go featuring The Chesterfield Kings,
The Cynics, The Charms, The Rainy Day Saints and St. Phillips Escalator.
And a few weeks later it was over to Water Street Music Hall for LIttle
Steven (or as my father still insists upon calling him, "Miami
Steve") Van Zandt and his Christmas show, which is promoted in
connection with his
Underground Garage radio program. Five more bands, and slightly
skankier go-go dancers.
