music or the misery

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music?

that is a quote from my all time favorite book/film high fidelity.

unfinished

maybe one day you'll get a chance to leave this town
i left the key under the mat
on the floor is a note and an ashtray full of butts
empty beer bottles with a little swill

maybe it was just another night were i was high and you were hurt
some old country song by someone who died in a hotel is on
or maybe it was a caddilac?
they all sound the same to me
even if it is more true than the sound of my voice

sundays are left for the ones who truly feel sorry for what theyve done
beds dont feel the same to me
the floor fits my head just fine

without a thought of humanity at all

were has the world gone?
open your eyes and see
it wont be long
it wont be long
count your blessing against the wind
and kiss your love goodbye

markets are dropping
could you blame everyone diffrently
humanity will eventually hang itself
on its own self righteousness
i dont know were im going with this poem
maybe its not even a poem at all
maybe its a cry for help
help from myself
or help for humanity
because the way things i see it
there is no thought
of humanity at all

the allman brothers band, widespread panic charlotte 10-3-09 review

well were do i start with this show, other than simply amazing. the lineup for this show was one of my dreams. the only thing i would change about this show was the fact that gregg was on guitar all night with someone else on organ and warren haynes wasnt even there, but they so mad up for it with jimmy herring on guitar. the back and forth between jimmy and derek was magical. the encore was one way out which made the first set end with such power and the allmans were on key all night even without a key member. but the best was yet to come with widespread panic closing the show. they opened up thier set with the powerful little kin. half way through the set they hit my soul right between the eyes with a rousing rendition of suprise valley.

this show was one for the record books. and the allmans and panic damn well made sure of that.

nostalgia

these are songs that remind me of high school. that old familiar smell of the hallways, the scent of that morning shower, standing in the cold waiting to go inside. god this brings me back

say it like a condemned man
