Our adult son stopped by. Over pizza, my wife told him the story of the months before his birth. (Pre-eclampsia! Hospital stays! Doctor deciding he needed to be delivered four weeks early! Bad epidurals! 17 hours of labor! NICU!)

That should keep him away for a while.

Friends, I'm gonna steal a page from nostr:npub18ljjwuh8vt0lrh3fe3vsefddt40u297gtsk3d4v4ywhjnvms9zfqy480hq and ask a QUESTION. What's the best live music show you've been to? Or more accurately, what was your favorite?

I'll go first. For me it was Tears For Fears in 2014. I had just moved to Portland and Project Pabst was having its inaugural season in a hot sweaty gravel pit that was at once stifling and full of glorious potential. I was there mainly for Violent Femmes but I stayed for Tears For Fears because I remembered them mostly as a band my mom liked when she was somewhere around the age I was at the time (early 30s). I went in with zero expectations and was completely blown away. They played the hits without making them feel dated and new stuff without it feeling indulgent. They had enough of the original lineup to stay authentic but enough fresh blood to keep it interesting. I'm currently in a bar that serves strong drinks at a reasonable price and Everybody Wants To Rule The World started playing and brought me back to that amazing show.

So what show was it for you?

U2 at Arrowhead Stadium during the Zooropa tour, October 1992.

Was it the "best" show I've ever seen? No.

Was it a ROCK SPECTACLE? Oh hell yes. Trabants in the lighting rig. Giant video boards. Bono calling the White House.

I'm not sure I'll ever see a pure event like that again. And that's why it is my favorite.

I think we've had enough Batman and Spiderman movies for one century.
