tales from the bong #3

i just got back from a show. i haven't been to a show in many, many years. and i'm also, for some reason, watching "just shoot me" on tv and it's hair-pullingly distracting. the remote seems so far right now.

so anyway, yeah. i just got back from a show. and i must be some aging raver or something, because not hearing some kind of computer-generated and mastered (aka live) music seemed way less scarring on my ears. 

i'm a firm believer in respecting and understanding where your food comes from. if you're really enjoying that mcdonald's that you're eating, then you should at least have a glimpse of how that delicious, hangover-curing phenom came to be so you could make it through the day after $4 pint night. no bitching or finger-pointing going down here, and definitely not judging, just wanting everyone to understand that your daily sustenance came from something alive.

that's kind of like how today's show was for me. it made me really appreciate and respect and really understand again how good music is made. sometimes you need to visually take in all the components of a band to be able to actually dissect and absorb every different layer of a song.

and when you appreciate every layer as its own and as a whole, that shit can be as mind-blowing as a two cheeseburger meal after a heavy night.

ps: check out the nulls, they're dope. like cheeseburgers.
