Meadville’s Juneteenth celebration has been scheduled.
Eyeweekly interviews Sharon Jones and takes a few well-deserved cuts at all around pompous guy David Byrne:
. . . back in the mid-’90s, David Byrne was looking for backing vocalists to accompany him on a tour across Europe. She auditioned and made the cut, but was rudely rejected when the folks in charge decided she was too old. “I was young, in my thirties,” snorts the singer, now 53.. . . “Anyhow, so David Byrne calls my manager now and says he wants me to sing on this album.” . . . “I said David, you don’t remember me, but when I was in my early 30s you wanted some young girl to come to Europe and you told me I was too old,” she laughs. “He was horrified. I told him it was for the best, because he’s the type of guy I would’ve gone off on. We would’ve had strong words, and we never would’ve worked together again. It was not meant for us to meet at the time. And this time around, he told me to just be myself. I sang the part, all soulful-like. Like I said, you can’t tell me how to sing soul.”
