Rock Star Birthday Blurbs – Beck | The Giant Panther
Today is Beck Hansen’s 40th birthday. Born Bek David Campbell on July 8, 1970, Beck has turned into one of Rock’s most uncategorizable musicians. He’s technically a dance artist of sorts, but most call his music Alternative Rock. In truth he defies all labels, but I still think he’s massively talented anyway. Most folks only know Beck because of his 1994 hit “Loser” and really have no clue about how talented this guy is. i was lucky enough to see him May 24, 2003 at the then FleetBoston Pavilion. I had an eighth row seat in the center. It was the worst weather I think I have encountered at a concert since I was at Red Rocks in Colorado when U2 was trying to film for MTV and Under a Blood Red Sky. Whipping wind, nasty cold and sideways rain. Still, I look at this concert as one of my favorites of the past decade. Beck is highly entertaining, he of the two turntables and a microphone. If you ever get a chance to check out his show I’d take it in. It’s a lot of moving and grooving…and I don’t dance…much…
