Music has never made Chuck Prophet rich. There & Live Music have been times in his life when it didn’t even make him solvent. But it has made him happy. Sort of. Prophet performs at the B-Side on March 26. Prophet has never “played the geetar on the MTV,” and he has never been a guest judge on Ameri- can Idol. And while it is indisputable that “chuck” and “prophet” are both household words, the name Chuck Prophet is not. What Prophet has consistently done for three decades is write and perform beautiful, intricate and challenging rock music. It is fitting that Prophet’s email signature reads, “As soon as you realize it’s all insane, it all makes sense,” because he never seems to stop trying to make sense of things. His career goal is nothing less than redemption. “I tell myself that if I can make a classic, a real classic for the ages,” he said in a phone interview, “it’s going to make sense of my life, make up for all the evil [stuff] I’ve done. That’s probably a lie.” Music is hard to talk about if you do it right, Prophet said. The reason most conversations about music turn to paydays, attendance figures and other tabulations is because music is ephemeral, he said. “They don’t like to talk about things that are CHUCK PROPHET Da i l y Lu n c h ephemeral,” he said. One of the questions 8 p.m. Thursday, March 24 I became more aware of Prophet said he hears most The B-Side @ One Lucky Guitar “Oh, Jimmy Webb.
