Isn’t It A Pity
The first time I ever heard George Harrison’s “Isn’t It a Pity” was in the car with my dad on the night of June 17th, 1994. He had picked me up at the beach after dark. He was pissed. He’s the kinda guy that is always a little pissed, but, he was like, suuuuper pissed […]

Spring Wind
It’s fall, yes, but I’m sorta obsessed with this song right now. I’d never heard of Greg Brown before, but recently re-watched 180° South, and caught the bit of the Jack Johnson cover of “Spring Wind” – this passage jumped out at me: My friends are gettin older, so I guess I must be too. […]

Thursday
I must confess a deep love for the Texas landscape, at least as seen through the windows of a moving vehicle. It runs counter to my natural inclination for deserts and shorelines and canyon vistas, but I love it nonetheless. Maybe it’s the Texan in my blood, my maternal grandmother born and raised and always […]

Monday
Day off in Cincinnati. Two shows in. Still getting used to sleeping on the bus, 18 hours day and heat, likewise, sufficiently exhausted. This week is more of the Midwest and Texas, then Denver, which I’m excited about. I’m in love with hotel beds and cable right now.
