BlogFreeSpringfield: August 2007
http://blogfreespringfield.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Anyway, here goes. I expect some feedback on this. My only compensation for running this blog are your thoughtful comments and hateful insults, and I value them all so dearly. Was a much more attractive candidate when he won the governorship of deep-blue Massachusetts as a Republican, than he is today after repositioning himself for a national run. The Mormon thing doesn’t bother me, the flip-flopping thing does. I want to like Rudy Giuliani. So I don’t know if he could ...

underneath the bunker: July 2010

A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Monday, July 12, 2010. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, 7/10/10. Here's the setlist from Jason Isbell's set at the Taste of Downtown Saturday:. Dock of the Bay. Hurricanes and Hand Grenades. American Girl (Tom Petty). Danko/Manuel (I got my wish! Also, at one point while jamming, they broke into a riff that sounded really, really familiar, but we couldn't place it until the next day when my husband said, "That was Wilco! That was a hoot. U2 tours dot com.

A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Wednesday, December 02, 2009. Bellefontaine Cemetery, STL. I hadn't seen families gathered in a circle this way. I love cemetery statuary; if I had more time on my hands I'd totally study up on it. This is the top of Augustus Busch's tomb (of Anheuser-Busch). William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame). I love this kind of stuff. How's that for an epitaph? Grandfather on the left, WSB the writer on the right. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Johann drops a blog.

A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Thursday, September 16, 2010. A friend of mine turned me on to this compilation: ten minutes of various guitar solos by The Edge. enjoy. Tuesday, September 07, 2010. Not a lot of shows coming up for the rest of the year. Drive By Truckers at the beginning of October, and Roger Waters at the end of October. I really feel like seeing Wilco - when is that not true, of course? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Everything I Like Causes Cancer. Johann drops a blog.

A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Monday, March 26, 2012. I feel guilty for many, many things in my life. I have a lot of regrets, times I should have taken a stand, times I gave up too easily. When my school started a gifted program when I was in fifth grade, we were pulled out of regular class to go to Gifted. We couldn't miss math or history, obviously, so the classes we had to skip were music and art. Mom complained that I was "wasting ink."). I'm trying to play piano here." T...

underneath the bunker: U2, human nature, hope, and stuff
http://occula.blogspot.com/2011/03/u2-human-nature-hope-and-stuff.html
A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. U2, human nature, hope, and stuff. Dreams any more. Your life slips away, and you miss large chunks of it, and then there’s nothing. I don’t mean to drive anyone to despair with reading this, but hey, it’s been a long winter! Except at U2 concerts. It’s impossible to be cynical at a U2 show. I’ll be a gloomy cynic again soon enough. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Everything I Like Causes Cancer. Johann drops a blog. I liv...

underneath the bunker: January 2011
http://occula.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Friday, January 07, 2011. Yesterday my husband took the afternoon off work so he could be home for a refrigerator delivery. He came home at noon, shut our cat in the bedroom, and waited. Going on 5:00, they called to alert him that they were on the way. Fifteen minutes later, they called asking why nobody was home – apparently our landlord who owns our house sent them to the wrong address entirely. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Johann drops a blog.

A music lover comments sporadically on this and that. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. For some reason I was just thinking about the time I sprained my ankle. I know, totally mundane. I was lucky enough to live a largely injury-free childhood apart from the usual skinned knees and elbows, so this event was pretty significant to me. I’m not sure how old I was, but I’m thinking probably fourth or fifth grade. We were called in from recess and I was running to get in line, and wham! A little help here? Which i...
