Greg Dulli

Deixaram esse comentário no YouTube em um vídeo que fiz do Twilight Singers no T in the Park deste ano:

When I hear/watch this, I hear a distillation of all Greg Dulli’s inimitable songwriting talents. Sure he got close to the golden ring in the (warped) grunge era of the 90’s, but this cat is too pure to let any of that bullshit bother him. Dulli’s a lifer, and guess what? He’s managed to put together quite a career; in my opinion, the cat’s only improved with age—-which is sayin’ something indeed!

Mesmo preferindo Afghan Whigs a Twilight Singers, é impossível discordar disso quando se vê Dulli em ação hoje.
