Ben Folds

I am going to see Ben Folds in Dallas tonight. I am excited about seeing him live. I have been a fan of his since "Whatever and ever amen" but I have never had a chance to see him perform.

Why not ask me to name a favorite child?

That album is great. One angry dwarf, song for the dumped, kate, steve's last night in town, battle of who could care less all strong contenders for favorite.

Ironically, the big radio hit, Brick, is one of my least favorites. Talk about a downer.

Any time we get a sitter and have some grown up time, it's on. I hope my wife is mentally preparing herself to drive home.

Of course. I can put that album in a playlist and listen through. It's all good.

My favorite Folds song is "The Luckiest".

My favorite Folds song is "The Luckiest".

The song "Still fighting it" is another of mine. It is a very touching song for me. It makes me think of my son.

"Rocking the suburbs" is funny. "Army" is a great song. The list goes on and on...

 

[DrRosenRosen]

'For Those of Ya'll Who Wear Fannie Packs' still makes me laugh listening to it after all these years.

Army is good. "I've been thinking a lot today"

s*** yeah, it's cool.

 

[The Dude]

Hopefully he'll play "B*tches Aint Sh*t" by Dr Dre for ya. He's made that song his own, imo.

 

[kptvol]

He puts on a good show. Is it just him and a piano, or is there a band with him?

Ben Folds >>>>> you, me, everyone

 

[Vol Mania 21]

B****es ain't S**t by Ben is pretty good

He supposedly retired that song. Said at Bonnaroo this year that it was his last time performing it.

Yeah, I heard that, too. He just released a new album, I'm sure he will do some of that. I haven't heard it yet.

One of my favorites to sing to my little boys. I actually have to fight back tears, at times.

The Luckiest is great, too.

Ben Folds is easily one of the most gifted musicians of our era. Enjoy the show!

So how was the show?
