The Mekons show last night at the Aladdin made me heart the Mekons!  They have been the background sound in my life for a long time but I've never been able to see them live before now...so WOW!  It was the best show EVER!

They make me want to hurry up to get to my 50s so I can be cool and graceful and rockin like they are!

They give me hope as time speeds hopelessly along...that life doesn't have to be a dismal slide into the grave...they were able to acknowledge the fact of their aging (fantasizing about performing on a comfy mattress underneath a duvet)...but not let it slow them down or stop them or lessen their enthusiasm.

Beautiful beautiful music.  Incredible opening band The Sadies...they both rocked the joint.

For the Song of the Day I pick the Sadie's newest CD...

My head is full of all of the songs from last night so today I won't just pick one.

I want to get my hands on the newest Sadies' and go back and revisit again the Mekon's library and also get the new one to listen to!

Cheers to all the middle aged rockers out there--I'm loving you!

PS The other day a guy saw in my cube a pix of the Flaming Lips on my computer...he asked me "are you a rocker or something?"  I thought for a moment and said, "why yes I am!"
