30 years ago today, Pearl Jam went to the Off Ramp to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, it sounds as bad with me singing along to SGT Peppers as it looks but still cool.

Listened to the Ten portion of Philly last night and it really is an amazing album! It's easy to lose that when you've heard the songs so much over 30 years. It's like when I step away from Zep IV, Sgt Pepper, Born to Run...and a dozen others that slip my mind this early in the morning but it's classic and iconic. It's also drastically different than the other music from the era. Sure it was born of the same scene but the classic nature of their sound is so different from anything in the era.

I watched the new season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction and Letterman is just a master interviewer....I would love to see him interview presidential candidates. The dude knows how to bring out humanity and if the person doesn't show it, they don't have it. His newest ep with Chappelle is great.

New Springsteen is solid. A solid listen from start to finish. I can't say that I've found any standouts but that's the beauty of an album you never feel out of, without any songs you want to skip, standouts are harder to come by.

Let this blow your mind the one hit wonder OMC's "How Bizzarre" came out the same year as Tom Petty's "Wildflowers."

Today it hit me that this is going to be a long winter. I usually welcome fall and winter, I love the change of seasons but the prospect of staying inside for so much of the year is daunting and not a little bit scary.

Springsteen was Trevor Noah's guest on Monday and it was a stellar interview. His take on creating is fascinating and insightful, always connected in line with the human condition in a way few individuals, are able to do.

I've been listening to The Killers a lot. What's fascinating is if you asked me which band would have the most legs: Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, The Strokes or The Killers - I'm pretty sure The Killers would've been dead last. But here they are, in regular rotation and fresh as ever. Sure, they never quite evolved but their good songs are just damn good.

I love seeing the activism going around. I love seeing Americans actually trying to do everything to vote. It's their voices for their choices. At the end of the day if every vote is counted and we have a record turn out that is a great day for America.

Somehow Halloween reaffirmed my faith in humanity. People were overly kind and careful; so many tables, individual bags...I was expecting my neighborhood to be a ghost town and it was quite the opposite. It was wonderful

I love digging into a classic band/artist that you know on the surface but have never given a solid amount of time to - Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks (solo of course) really are excellent. It's fascinating music and Nicks might be my favorite female vocalist of all time.

A friend pointed out to me that it's disturbing how businesses are bracing for riots and boarding up windows ahead of the election. Not only disturbing but disheartening.

Vote!

So no conclusion and back to normal? Normal since 2016? Normal for 2020? Does normal exist?

Last week I decided to dig into Supernatural. It's not poetry but man it's a distraction. A distraction from everything. Background noise to tune out to - settle into oblivion with my breaks in work, my workouts, the pause time when kids aren't around.

As painful as this election process is, it's a good thing that the public becomes aware of how laborious our voting process is. Elections are often "called" the day of but in reality votes are continuously counted until the bitter end. Every vote counts. Every voice is heard (I'm aware of suppression and that's something that needs to be fixed). This year will be no exception.

I can't remember the last time I went on a U2 bender but I'm verging and I missed them. I'm the weird guy that defends Pop and loves Songs of Experience. There's something solid in No Line on the Horizon and yet I can't find much to love in How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb or Zooropa. I stand by Achtung over Joshua Tree. And while I've seen them 5 times I haven't seen a show that blew my socks off; yet I've never seen them do a bad show.

CP218430 · November 2020

Thinking of U2 made me wonder if every band will not only go out touring just to be out but if they'll have new material...It's possible this pandemic could be a ripe time for artists. It doesn't give back the time it took away but sunny side of life right?

CP218430 · November 2020

U2 cuts to dig into: "Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses," "Kite," "Moment of Surrender," " If God Will Send his Angels," "Peace on Earth," "Original of the Species," "Iris," "Song for Somone" and "Get Out of Your Own Way."

Enjoy the weather. It's going to get nasty in the coming weeks. Get outside.
