Pancakes for breakfast - or anytime!
Back in Minneapolis' musical heyday - the 1980s - there were a lot of great bands. The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Hüsker Dü, the Geardaddies, Prince, and of course my former lover Willie Wisely. I look back on those days with a certain nostalgia, a certain je ne sais quois...good times.
You might not be aware that Dave Pirner from Soul Asylum had lovely blonde dreadlocks for a while, until he got a scalp infection and had to have his head shaved! Or maybe you weren't in the audience that night that Alex Chilton wouldn't let that asshole from the Jayhawks get up on stage with him, when he said any baby born on that day was cursed! And lets face it, Alex knows his astrology.
But long before Grant Young had been forced out of Soul Asylum, or Grant Hart had his tribe, the bass player for Hüsker Dü, Greg Norton, had a tradition that I would like to bring back: the semi-nude pancake breakfast. See, Greg liked to invite people over for pancakes, and cook them naked - except for his apron!
Iowa City - you've been served! The pancake feasts in my loft are about to begin. Elizabeth Street will never again be the same.
