At a Jill Sobule Tribute Show in L.A., Tom Morello, Margaret Cho, Lisa Loeb, Kay Hanley and, Yes, Fabio Share the Love and Loss: Concert Review
Jill Sobule was remembered in the first of a series of nationwide tribute concerts in L.A. with Tom Morello, Margaret Cho, Lisa Loeb, Fabio and more.
Willie Aron, of Balancing Act and Thee Holy Brothers fame, performed the Warren Zevon song “Don’t Let Us Get Sick,” which Sobule had covered herself — its faintly prayerful tone coming off as even more poignant in the light of her sudden passing. First, the duo sang “Heroes,” an anthem about being let down by every famous artist you could ever hope to emulate — present company surely excluded — prefaced by Hanley saying, “We picked the song with the most lyrics,, so that you would get your money’s worth from us doing Jill.” Then they explained how the previously mentioned ode to the current vice president’s charms came to be: Lewis actually had the controversial title ready to go when recent circumstances led them to start talking about revived their short-lived supertrio Sugar Tits to come up with more politically charged material. “When My Ship Comes In” — Dan Navarro“Don’t Let Us Get Sick” (Warren Zevon cover) — Willie Aron“Bitter” — Cindy Lee Berryhill“San Francisco” — Steve Postell“I’m So Happy” — Amy Engelhardt“Bird on the Wire” (Leonard Cohen cover) — Perla Batalla“Somewhere in New Mexico”” — Jesse Lynn Madera“Heroes” — Kay Hanley and Michelle Lewis“JD Vance Is a Cunt” — Kay Hanley and Michelle Lewis“Tomorrow Is Breaking” — Lisa Loeb“Mexican Wrestler” — Margaret Cho“Underdog Victorious” — Tom Morello“I Kissed a Girl” — cast“America Back” — cast
