I saw the Horse last night - the one band that I needed to see before I died. It was a very low-key show, starting with Neil's newest "Greendale," a 10-song cycle, that took nearly two hours. It wasn't thunderous Crazy Horse material but that man can still write a beautiful song and his often hokey, often humorous, often prosaic storyline (replete with actors, props, and spotlights) kept even the beerheads entertained. It was a good show. I wanted the EXPLOSION!!! that is Crazy Horse but instead I got long-winded, beautifully played country-tinged rock. Not a bad deal at all. Went with Sarah, Chris, and the parents. Liz and Donny and Julie W. were in the balcony somehwere, hopefully lauding, as I was, Neil's audacious attack on Clear Channel and the Stalinistic Patriot Act. Had another birthday. (Yawn.) I'm 26. Feel spacey, flat, scrambled. I've been at a three-day seminar to improve my teaching skills. Right now, I have no teaching skills.
