Mind bubbles

I meant to add more to that entry but ended up getting caught in the flood and carried away. I saw the Bob Dylan interview last night and it depressed me a little bit. Dylan said that he can't create the songs in the way he wrote them back in the 60's. He feels that he is a completely different person now and that he never saw himself as the spokesperson for a generation. Proof was in the fact that he actually did a serious interview and didn't blow it off as is his trademark starting during his youthful hijinx. Times have a changed but its a dismal outlook to have. I find it a rare thing for artists to actually produce more innovative music later on in their careers. One shining anomaly to this group is Neil Young. His Silver and Gold album is my favorite by him and is even though he is crying about wanting to be in Buffalo Springfield again, the music is amazing. As with any intellectual thought, there is always a leaning towards internal-examination. Whats the key?

Whew almost stuck in mind bubble which will circle and circle overhead til your stuck in the fetal position sucking your thumb. The rest of the weekend was amazing as we descended on Madison and played at a club a block away from the impressive capital building. On Saturday we went out of Janet's Janet Day and had a blast at the small bar in Logan Square and besides playing big pimpin had an almost impeccable DJ(actually 2, the 2 owners) ranging from the Cars to Hip Hop. Highlights from the night was Nick walking over 3 miles to get to the bar for only 20 minutes left til close. Good times.

If you haven't looked I'm in the study abroad brocure for 2004-2005.

Tomorrow Darling is playing at Schubas and the show is getting recorded by e-music. We're opening for Cub Country and go on at 10pm.

Sorry brother, I liked the Bob Dylan interview. My favorite part was when Ed Bradley was addressing the whole "spokesperson for a generation" thing and he was like, "Well, surely people saw it in your lyrics" and Dylan replied with something like "they weren't hearing the songs then." I figured next he was going to shout "the public be damned!"
