I got into the Roxy Music scene as late as possible. Avalon was the first record of theirs I really came to love, of course it was their last studio release. Bryan Ferry would continue his diverse solo career and would occasionally tour. A large tour was rare for him in the United States. To come to Ohio, let alone Columbus was something he had not done in the 27 years I've lived here so I jumped at the chance to see him when tickets went on sale.
After 2016, you want to see your musical heroes when you get the chance.
The show started off sounding muddy, with the bass overwhelming the sound. I heard one or two people yell out, "kill the bass!" between songs. They had a point. After about 45 minutes the sound issue was cleared up.
Ferry was still shuffling about the stage. Good energy for a man who is over seventy. I was not expecting any high leg kicks, so that was all good. He can't hit the high notes as well, but he settled in a decent lower tone. His stage presence is on point. His fashion, impeccable.
The light show was one of the best I've seen, my iPhone could not do it justice.
The canon was deeply represented, a lot of the first Roxy Music record was played live. Rare stuff so I'm told. The band was smoking hot. All worth the thirty five year wait.

That's when I reach for my Macallan
Looking at where I was ten years ago, Jesus how did I get out of it in one piece? I've said that many times, and am projecting it all to the country now. When do the flames start? Will they signify an ending, or new beginning?
The transfer of power has been peaceful and stable, until this one. Every day another boondoggle of half truths, lies and obfuscation. All to keep control on the populace, that would be us.
So I dip into the 12 year old stock in the cabinet. Realize I'm more secure on paper than any time in my life. And wonder if I will ever sleep right again.

He was like Lou Reed to me
How can you not like Chuck Berry?
The music that is.
The birth of so many riffs came from his guitar strings. His influence on rock music, heck, music, is undeniable.
Definitely one of the greats. He earned and deserves all the accolades and more.
As a musician.
His flaws as a human being, and he had them, too, are there. You can look them up.
Ninety was a long run.

Not angry, just lost
When I buy Irish Whiskey, and it’s rare that I do, it’s Bushmill’s. This gets people up in arms about Protestant Whiskey and a beverage being problematic. And I hear this from people who are not Irish.
Oh the dissonance.
I do not like the taste of Jameson’s, is that a crime? And I’m not going to buy a Whiskey called Michael Collins. Might as well have one of those Irish Car Bomb shooters to go along with it.
My Mother’s maternal Grandmother and Grandfather were both Polish immigrants who came over in the early 20th century.
My Mother’s paternal Great-Great Grandparents both came over from Ireland in the late 19th century.
My paternal Grandfather’s Mother emigrated from England in the late 19th century.
My paternal Grandfather’s Great Grandfather emigrated to the United States from Ireland in the mid 19th century.
My paternal Grandmother’s family history is filled with mysteries but with some certainty I can say her Grandparents were from Ireland and emigrated here in the late 19th century.
How much Irish Soda Bread should be in my house today?
I can take or leave Guinness Stout and have one or two a year, but not today.
How much Americanized distance is there between me and my ancestors from 1850-2017?
Here I am now, closer to my so called roots to Suffolk County, New York, Western New York State and Columbus, Ohio than to any of the olde countries any members of my family lived. I am closer to Fall River, Massachusetts, Brooklyn, Astoria, Greenpoint than Derry, Dublin, Libniki, Baba or Clitheroe. Maybe it’s one large disconnect between my brain and the world?
If others want to hoist one for St. Patrick, wear Kelly Green and shamrocks, fill their bellies with corned beef and cabbage (which I loathe) so be it. I might just break out some Van Morrison and drink a Four String Big Star instead.

Like Father, Like Son, Think About It
My Son will not eat solid food, but he will bite his nails. I guess this is a genetic trait. He may like high school more than I did, but he is not saying.
News may be breaking about tax returns and who controls wikileaks, but the wrong people are doing the shouting and getting heard. Who gave roger stone and his bowler valuable air time?
What news has diminished to. Sadly, the entertainment draws numbers, which draws corporate ads, which fuels the pump.
Liar. Scream. Repeat.
After many months I did get my official Equity Punk Card from Brewdog, making me an official something. And I renewed my AAA membership so maybe there is hope in me that we have another year left. Possibly until the end of April, 2018, when my membership expires. After then, all bets off the table?
We're having a wild year for all the wrong reasons, although there is a trip to Vegas actually booked and paid up.
What are we going to be flying into?

Strawberry Switchblade has a Smiths number of three
All Pandora stations lead to The Smiths, it's a matter of when.
Columbus and Central Ohio, go out this month and support Holler, 31 days of Black Art in Columbus. It's an unprecedented event. Check the list, there are 19 days left to take part.
No, I still have not watched a single episode of The Wire despite enormous pressure from tastemakers.
However, after years of foursquare taunting, I am headed to Las Vegas later this year.
Funny, when you say you're going someplace how people always chime in with what you should do when you're there because it is what they would do, and you must, or you are going to miss out on something. At the end of the day, probably not.
Then again. Hey, I'm watching X program on TV right now and it's great.
Yes, but you have not watched The Wire yet, have you, commie?
And so it goes.

I do like the meatball sandwich at Gallo's on Riverside Drive
It's been all internet spam here because it's overwhelming out there right now. If you are capable of reading this, you already know about the political climate of this country, and the world for that matter.
Bullet points just are not cutting it for me right now. Twitter threads that people say are important and must scrolls become redundant - in the way you have to sign into get in line at the Spectrum once Time Warner cable customer service office.
After 27 years I finally quit Time Warner in favor of another company. I originally wanted to go with another cable company, but after promising me a weekend installation time they backed out and we could not even agree on a late afternoon installation.
So here we are now.
Just got back from a Blue Jackets victory. They are one point from the franchise high in points with 92 points. There are sixteen games to play. What an incredible season this team is finally having.
