I wish I'd seen Sharon Jones at the Showbox instead of in PDX the night before. They don't dance without irony down here. They barely dance at all, and hardly even clap or cheer. And if you do clap or cheer or dance, you will be treated to icy stares and looks of sheer disgust. Worst of all was when this seriously affected guy standing near me in a fucking TOP HAT remarked with bored detachment, "She's ugly..." when Sharon re-appeared for an encore. Why do you always have to be so fucking cool, Portland?
