[One, two, three, four]

we watched School of Rock last night @ our Tuesday tribal gathering for conversation and pizza amidst the new Rudd digs. the girls and i saw the film in the theatre last year. it was better on DVD... lower expectations. i have been in a rock mood this morning as a result of our late Jack Black inspired evening.

i'm listening to the Metallica cover of Killing Joke's The Wait, at the moment--a song that was in the film (the speeding van scene). Garage Days is such a good cover album. i remember buying it in Greece back in '86 or '87. i remember my dad saying, "you are in Greece and all you want to buy is a tape?" i remember answering simply, "yes."

the '84 Garage Days Revisited had two killer songs that the '87 Garage Days Re-Revisited did not--Am I Evil and Blizkrieg.

I got something to say...

it's funny the paradigms we bring to the things we end up doing. for the longest time i saw everything in terms of being in a band. to me it seemed the natural manner of approach for just about everything. a band is small and loyal. a band is about passion. a band is about leveraging small things to move people. a band was all that i loved about community and creative production in an easily conceived arrangment. i don't know when i stopped seeing life through this prism. perhaps i still do at times.
