Driving home listening to the bluetones, I thought about living in the live music capital of the world, and an infinite number of blogs with music….what sticks is are songs or artists with emotional attachment. It can be the smell of something, or how you were feeling at the AC/DC show. In perspective of change, [...]
Picked up a local newspaper today, thought about what ‘current’ people tap into and how society is full of labels. World news, national news, regional news, local news, conservative, liberal, different lollipop flavors of religion; how silly it is to brand yourself in a day and age where everything is blended, hyper-connected and just not [...]
Lot goes on in your mind when you take a trip down memory / amnesia lane, what goes on in my mind as I sit through a set through Bryan Adams / Foreigner is what is ‘real’, what is artificial, and what flat out needs to go. I’ve seen more gigs than I’d like to [...]

A blog posting for the ages, in about 10 hours or so I’ll be at the summit of this. I’ve heard its got seven or eight false summits, so the beer at this place will go down fresh and smooth, even if it’s Coors Light. Why not tap the Rockies. We’ll see how it goes, [...]
