Bob Mould fans, what's your favorite song of his and why?

I love 'If I Can't Change Your Mind' because while it sounds great electric, it translates so well to an upbeat acoustic number too. How 'bout you?

Something I Said - Jeff "Boday" Christensen -- Premiere Guitarist

Something I Said - Jeff "Boday" Christensen

Dwight Hobbes - Twin Cities Daily Planet

 

Jeff "Boday" Christensen plays interesting guitar. Clean, inventive. Tasty. Always has.

Way back in the mid-90s, Christensen broke out in the Twin Cities with Stan Kipper, Chico Perez, and Joel "Family Man" Arpin as part of the seminal Twin Cities Afro-Cuban rock crew One World . He could rip off licks fiery as a furnace, lay down chicken-scratch funk, or simply lull you with finesse—depended on what the occasion called for. He played on Straight from the Sun and stayed around long enough to do shows with them when Jenny Sanford (now of Bella Diva) was in the group. Then he jumped ship to go solo. "It was hard," Christensen recalls, "because I loved the band. Stan and Chico and Joel...everybody who was in it. But I wanted to pursue this instrumental music thing. I always wanted to have my music on the radio, like the Ventures. I wanted to see if I could do it. I got noticed."

That isn't saying the half of it. He met with a program director at Cities 97 and brought along a demo of his first smooth-jazz CD Boday (now out of print). She hooked him up with a California connection—radio promoters All That Jazz Agency—and he hasn't stopped getting airplay since. Three albums later (Do You Know, French Vanilla, Butterfly Legs), he's on playlists all over America and is aired over syndicated Canadian outlet Café Jazz. He's done studio gigs for national television and radio; he's featured in ads for Adidas, Discover Card, and Best Buy. Working with the band Jesse Brad, he opened concerts for the likes of Bob Seger, Styx, and Cheap Trick. Here in the Twin Cities, he did session work for years at Prince's Paisley Park Studios.

Nowadays, he occupies himself with a recently developed project, a cover band with vocalist Danielle Zenner. He calls it "a jazz duo and a pop, rock, R&B band. We're all over the map." The idea is to take in some of what money corporations can't resist frittering away on entertainment in even these troubled times. "The band is a four-piece, with Danielle fronting. [She's] really steeped in the standards. Anything from ‘Summertime' to ‘Misty', all of them. And she can sing the Heart bag, can do her Aretha [Franklin] thing."

Highly recommended off Butterfly Legs are the rich original "Bright Nites" and a sterling rendition of Sade's "Hang On To Your Love." For Do You Know, Boday (that's the name he records under) went to hell with himself, knocking out a true tour de force. "Central Park," straight from the Wes Montgomery school of swinging sophisticato, is an irresistibly jaunty strut that will have you tapping and nodding along before you know it. For the bridge, Christensen caps things off nice with a judicious taste of funk. "Since I Met You (The Ebony Mix)" mesmerizes: a dark, beautiful turn on acoustic guitar. If you enjoy the best jazz has to offer, you are going to love listening to this album.

Even in the Twin Cities locale, which is known for musicians with monster chops, the guy is a standout.

Bob Marley Posters - A Legend Revived

The legend of Bob Marley means something different for everyone. While his musical styling will always be remembered in the reggae genre, his music and message were varied and emotional. His songs touched on basic human needs for love, togetherness, equality and peace. But he often sang from the darker of human deeds as well. Slavery, war, and political injustice were all far targets for this musical prophet of Kingston, Jamica.

Even in passing, Bob Marley still continues to reach generations who weren't even born till after his death. His message is universal, timeless and evocative. It still speaks generations later, and will continue to do so decades from now. His albums, cds, artwork and posters continue to spread his message.

One remarkable phenomena is the fascination young people have with the images, photographs and posters of Bob Marley. Posters of his live concerts, and personal life outside the music stage continue to sell and be collected by people of all ages and walks of life. The young especially. It's not unusual to walk into any dorm room from Florida to Alaska, and find images of Bob Marley adorning the walls.

Bob Marley was a devout follower of the Rastafari. It influenced his life, his music, his actions, his beliefs and ultimately his death. While it is common knowledge that the herb he so openly enjoyed was a part of this religious devotion, many don't know that part of the Rastafari belief is that the body must remain whole. Which is why he decided not to have a foot amputated that was stricken with cancer. Ultimately that cancer spread through his body, and took him from us. It seems a harsh injustice, but you have to admire the man for being true to his beliefs.

Could it be his universal messages of love and devotion. His political stance against apartheid and other governmental injustices seem to connect with many people young and old.

Bob Marleys message was important, and it's good to see it still entrenched in the spirit of the young. They are the future, and the message in the music still reaches them. Especially in todays troubled times. Our leader seem to have forgotten the message of one love, that Bob so adamantly echoed through our consciousness years past.

Let's hope the ghost of Bob Marley continues to live on through music, artwork, photographs, t-shirts, and posters. It reminds us all of what it means to be human.

Bob Marley. Jamming.
