Phil Cooper Obit: Tom Rapp of Pearls Before Swine (1947-2018) (14) RE: Obit: Tom Rapp of Pearls Before Swine (1947-2018) 21 Feb 18


I heard him sing it at Amazing Grace Coffeehouse in Evanston, Illinois the time I saw him perform in 1974. I was struck by the song and was hoping it would be on his next album. Little thinking that that would be years later. He appeared at Amazing Grace after Sunforest was released. So, I'm pretty sure Cobain was not on his radar back then. It's appropriate for the dedication on Journal of the Plague Years. The first set he played (a bit of thread drift here) only four songs, but had a lot of stories about growing up in Catholic schools and church camps. The songs he played that set were Blind Fish, Rocket Man, Love/Sex, and Star Dancer. The second set, he played more songs because he said some people had asked for some of the older songs. He repeated a couple of the first set songs and also did Amber Lady and I Shall Not Care. Because of the heaviness of the songs, I was surprised at how funny the between song patter was.
