a coule weeks ago, at the funeral of the last of my dad's generation of aunts and uncles ("tribal elders" we called them) my first cousin looked at me and said, "next funeral is one of us."
More just the reality of 70 and 80 year old musicians that are still playing. Personally, I think Bruce did it better than anyone I have ever known. It will happen again. We're not wishing anyone dead. It's not different than guessing unannounced artist as we go along except it's sad when you're right.This is bad juju.
I remember in my twenties betting on who would marry next, and in my thirties who would get pregnant next, it's all just stages of life. One of my buddies put money on me in two years to drop at work and I'm only 55. In 1999 twelve of us entered a bet "last man standing" and now there are two of us left. 11 of us went to Marks funeral, 10 to Gary's…doesn't really matter if I go to Aaron's or he goes to mine

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

I saw them probably 6-10 times in the DC area. Often on the same bill as Mojo Nixon. Fun, fun, fun.

Never had the pleasure. Van Go is a great album. A bunch of really good songs off it. It was one of the albums I had in my hand when I met the ever lovely Pam.I saw them probably 6-10 times in the DC area. Often on the same bill as Mojo Nixon. Fun, fun, fun.
