Well well well...after a long month of struggling and dealing with stuff that I never in my entire life thought I would have to deal with. It all finally came to a close on saturday night. I haven't been to a show in ages and have been going through some tuff stuff. A few friends of mine came up with the idea of takin me along to the Alejandro Escovedo show along with the Drive By Truckers. Finally the one that that could bring me out of my crusty little shell was the sound of LOUD ROCK GUITARS!!! My ears haven't been beaten like that in ages and for once I was actually thankful for it. There is nothing like watching a bunch of PBR drinkin southern fellas with axes on 11(thats one louder than 10) to drive the demons out of someone. At first I was a little aprehensive about the whole thing but about two songs into the set I was bouncin around like a 16yr old kid in 1976 with those funky pants that my big brother used to wear and just wishing I had a better do on my head to fling around. It's quite possible that the beers I had been indulging in helped me out a bit, but it was so well worth it. That bein said, I've been a music dork for a long long time and its been quite a while since I've had that out of body experience from a live show. For a few hours on saturday I was a kid again and loving every sweaty, smokey and cheap beer induced minute of it. So if anyone has that not so fresh feeling on life go out and see some live music. It helped me and it could help you too....hehehe. thanx for reading that pile.....AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT I'm heading to the UK in september.....LONDON AND SHEFFIELD to be exact. If there are any of you from those parts drop me a line offlist. I could use some tips and what not for my travels. Maybe even meet a few of you all while I"m there....Please dont be shy....Help a little Chicago area fella out on this one. Thanx for listening all.....I'm back to my work here.
