There are stories we tell to one-up each other, and then there is this blog. Read wondrous tales of strange creatures, explore the depths of human indecency, and hopefully laugh a little as we find out what could possibly make people do what they do.
Last winter I took a pre-birthday trip to New Orleans and I am way late in posting all of these photos.
An outsider validating your musical tastes is bar none one of the most gratifying things you can experience at 1 a.m. while slingshotting around the I-96/I-69 interchange.
It’s finally here! After one full year of breaking down my personal best-of list, we’re finally at the end. Mostly.
I don’t sing along to songs, even when I’m alone in my car. I paid for the CD or the show to hear someone else sings, that’s the point.
Up and downs, ins and outs, we all have to be aware of each other, and the world around us.
When high expectations are met with intriguing surprises, you know you’re in for a real treat.
I haven’t even received the stimulus and the money’s already gone to my head.
We get it, the lockdown sucks. You know what also sucks? Dying from coronavirus. So stay inside and read this.
Somebody help me, I’m listening to house and techno while impatiently awaiting my impulse trip to Miami in May.
Half of these shows I paid to see. Three of them had fewer than 100 people, while the others were close to selling out. Everyone has a choice, these are the ones I made.
It’s finally here, the Top 100! I’m not going to lie to you, this was hard trying to get to 200 shows so I could round out this list.
Speaking of mega shows, I’m going to also recollect the biggest/most enjoyed concerts by year, if I can remember them all.
My second CD as a new driver was Eagles’ Hotel California, which, if you played the lead track back-to-back was the exact distance to my high school from home in moderate traffic.
No offense to those of you that do partake in the collective, pseudo-mind meld of chemical accelerants and barbiturates, these are almost always sober shows.
Just because you have a big stadium act doesn’t mean it was a great show. Sometimes it’s how you move the audience in the space you create.
I think there should be a limit on what you can record at shows and share on social media. And I think I should be able to break those rules at any time.
