WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I've been wanting to see Christine live
for years and she's never come anywhere NEAR Kansas City (and if
she has been here I don't want to know because I didn't know about
it and I MISSED IT!)

Here's what Ladyslipper has to say about Christine:

Christine Lavin
Future Fossils

This is Christine's first LP (she had an earlier EP called "Husbands
and Wives", about relationships--the unequal kind) full of social
commentary, 50/50 humor and serious, somewhere between live and
studio, of original songs. This artist is someone the NY Times calls
"a pungent folk-pop humorist...writes wryly comic vignettes of city
life that also have an emotional edge." Includes Cold Pizza for 
Breakfast, a spoof of diets, Regretting What I Said which skewers men
who find it difficult to tell the truth, and Don't Ever Call Your
Sweetheart By His Name which turns the tables on men who've called
women "darling" for centuries...this song was banned from Gracie
Mansion. During a discussion with this reviewer, Christine said
"My mantra is pizza."
