First concert for me since Jethro Tull ’82. Or was is Jefferson Airplane? A few days earlier someone said something to the effect of “wholesome.” Whaaaa? Never thought of grunge genre as “wholesome” but, yeah, after listening to CS again, I guess they are. Both in sound and lyric. Then I thought about it some more. Creed? Definitely played the shyte out of their CD in the 90s. Later learned them boyz is straight up white lace Christian. So, yeah, wholesome, it is. But I put it in my personal bucket of Happy Music. You know, like ELO’s Above The Clouds (no, not Mr. Sunshine….). Different style but the same resonance. Is happy not wholesome?
The music was good and I copped a few new songs I hadn’t heard of. Check out the track Perfect Day, featuring Sir John.
I felt a bit guilty going to a concert whilst the world is burning down around our ears, though. Truly it is, and if you don’t feel the same, your privileged butt is living in a bubble. Bubble Butt. But… one must self medicate in whatever fashion feasible, so this was my time-out.
Signing off with Collective Soul.
