got stoned in the parking lot with my friend and some random guy.

Hee hee. You reminded me of going to the first Lollapalooza. It was at The World Music Center outside Chicago. Newly built I guess they were trying not to irritate the neighbors but it was pretty impossible to hear anything from the lawn seats. The only thing that made it bearable was the couple of "old guys" on the blanket behind us who shared their smoke with us.

A few days later I got a letter from my brother who'd just been to Hootenanny with another "old guy" and he talked about how they'd shared their pot with a couple of kids on the blanket in front of them. Weird concert lawn synchronicity.

I'm in Nashville after a great reading at Grimey's last night with Will Kimbrough kicking the ass out of a few Richard Thompson songs. The audience was generous and kind and a good time (I think) was had by all.

Amazon's download deal today is Coltrane's My Favorite Things for $.99.

Well, that's a bummer-- LeRoi Moore, sax man for Dave Matthews Band died yesterday.

Think I'll go listen to "Satellite."

Yay!!!!

"Nerdy, nervous and noisy," (All Music Guide) and once called "the best underground band in New York" by The Village Voice, the Feelies were a strong influence on many indie-rock bands to follow. The band formed in 1976 in New Jersey, releasing four albums, including the seminal Crazy Rhythms and the Peter Buck-produced The Good Earth.

The Roxy is located at 279 Tremont Street in Boston’s Theatre District, and is handicapped accessible. For more information, call (617) 338-7699.
