Ben Kweller: Ugly people can be rockstars too...

Take a look at the gentleman above. No it is not one of your teenage brothers pimple-faced mates. This is Ben Kweller, a musician whos music I have been vaguely familiar with for about a year. Being a bit of a live music junkie I decided to see him in concert in Aspen last night. I found myself sitting in the front row while this guy delivered one of the best concerts I have seen. He played all of his best tracks, did a cover of the Eagles' Take It Easy, and then when someone cheered him on shouting "Play that funky music white boy," he damn well played that song too for a laugh. Far too talented...
