Taking a break for the suffering and strife in Louisiana, I stumbled across a startling discovery.
Almost all of my favorite bands and music acts are related in some way.
We'll start from the top.
The Wallflowers are headed by Jakob Dylan, who is the son of Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan was the inspiration to Matthew Good, who without such a musical influence, would likely have never aspired to become a musician.
Matthew Good toured with The Dears during his Avalanche tour.
The Dears have a member by the name of George Donoso.
George Donoso used to play in a band called Northstar with Sam Roberts.
Sam Roberts hails from Montreal, Quebec.
Montreal is where The Arcade Fire was born as a band.
Regine Chassagne, the piano wizard and backup vocals for Win Butler of The Arcade Fire, hails from Haiti.
Haiti is an example of a nation recieving foreign aid (among other things) and is figured prominently with Matthew Good, and occassionally with The Wallflowers.
Full circle. Isn't it great?
