When we two parted
did i ever tell you about the time i saw the afghan whigs? i didn't think so...
they were touring with the oh so brilliant record 'gentlemen', which makes me cry. anyway, the issac and the dave were the SUB POP KINGS of the record store we worked at and immediately called Warner Brothers to get on the guest list for the show. a few months later, Warner Brothers is ALL OVER the record - promoting it like it was going to save the world (and it could have!). anyway, the store i worked at all got Afghan Whigs neckties (yes i still have mine) and free copies of the record and free tickets to the show to anyone who wanted them, and a party with the band afterwards.
of course, they had forgotten about long time fans isaac and dave by now. and they never called to confirm.
i drove down to the show with them, in my car. it was sold out and they weren't on the list. i went in for about 45 minutes but i felt bad for them sitting in my car and left. they played a great cover of New Order's 'Regret'.
anyway, they were just getting high in my car, iris stayed for the party and got to dance with Greg Dulli, and i fell way in love with isaac and then he moved to seattle and i never saw him again. the end.
ps - isaac looks just like this guy and even wrote him a letter telling him so.
