Day 22
TODAY'S SONG:
"Tonight You Belong To Me" by Eddie Vedder
First,
this song reminds me of going to see Pearl Jam in Pittsburgh with my
old roommate Dale. We were walking through the arena to get to our
seats and could hear an acoustic guitar playing distantly. It turned
out, Eddie Vedder had come on stage early to play a little bit before
what's-his-face from Guided By Voices played. We pretty much missed
it all. There were some kids in our aisle who seemed pretty nice,
but then they lit a joint and were thrown out immediately. Pearl Jam
were great, playing for about three hours as I recall, Vedder going
through about two whole bottles of wine during the set.
This
also reminds me of a show I played at Mohawk Place a couple of years
ago with my friend Sonny and Dolfish, a singer/songwriter from
Cleveland. It was an awesome night of great music, just a few months
probably before Mohawk closed. I love Dolfish's music, he's got a
great sense of melody and he plays a mean acoustic guitar. His
lyrics were especially great with lines like, “And you watch Harold
and Maude / but just for the Cat Stevens / you never did follow the
plot.”
But
then again, he also sang, “I heard you were the lucky caller on the
radio / won a pair of tickets to the Pearl Jam show / and I thought
that you would ask me, you didn't though / I decided that if you had
I would've told you no / given you some excuse about how Pearl Jam
blows / and while it's true that I feel this way...”
