so you're still overseas...
truly, you're still overseas - I think that is great. I don't miss it at all. Not the diving, the varied cultures, not the utter chaos that comprises mere existence. Jeez, and not to mention the countless new experiences and growth that comes with the ex-patriated life.
Instead, let me tell you what I have on tap - music - as in live living-organisms playing instruments for you - well rather,. my musical pleasure. Because you still live overseas and you can't get this there. So back to me.
I live in an area uniquely positioned between Chicago and Denver - on the 'logical route' tour map. Did you know that logical routes used to be and still is - a significant negotiating point for bands touring the US. "we're playing new jersey and the next night in LA and the next night back in new York... Give me more money. Back to me...
More major acts and up-and-coming acts pass through here, it's near mind boggling. Last thursday I had the choice between DJ Tiesto (which I was interested in as it reminded me of Egypt), a local going major alternative act, my brother thumbing some delta blues, Stone Temple Pilots, UK Billy Bragg and Rush. This is literally how it is every week, this is not an aboriginal-nomadic vision but living live music reality in the land of 14,987 lakes, and more importantly, let's get back to me.
So, after a long holiday weekend spent poolside at a backyard pool party - with 2 young children per adult and a major PA and 24x7 karaokee mic ready for the taking, see there is even more music, man does it ever stop here. No. No sir it does not stop. I mean i am talking a big ass PA, with 2, yes 2 wireless mics. But back to me.
Live music is cool and you are not. You life altering experiences, soul expanding views and low cost rent - Slags.
