The Reason Why Many People Love Bruce Springsteen Concerts

Yesterday Geoffrey took me to see our very first ever Bruce Springsteen concert. I will willingly confess that – save for “Tunnel of Love” and few of his ballads like “No Surrender,” which is a work of genius – I have never really been a huge fan of his music. Still, you can’t help but know the words to every one of his songs, because they have been all over the radio and practically in the ether since I was about fifteen years old. Anyway, Bruce and the E Street Band played for three hours and blew our heads right off. Geezus god, what a fan-fucking-tastic performer that guy is. Fan or not, everybody should see him at least once. He’s amazing.
In Praise of My Rad New Kitchen Cart
Raddest Kitchen Cart, Ever
This is a well-deserved shout out to my BFF Tracy of the Modern Urban Living blog for not only assisting in the construction of my awesome new Kitchen Cart (purchased from Overstock) but for actually single-handedly building the cart herself while I held stuff in place and occasionally handed her a random piece of the cart from where it was strewn across my floor. Thanks a billion Tracy, and long may you continue to Rock.

Dr. Robert Moog, inventor of the synthesizer, and a man without whose influence bands like Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode would certainly be doing something else these days, was born on this day, May 23rd, in 1934. Find out how to correctly pronounce his name at This Link!
Happy Birthday, Morrissey!
Andy, Johnny, Morrissey and Mike – The Smiths!
Morrissey (born Steven Patrick Morrissey), singer for The Smiths and worldwide Gay Icon was born on this day, May 22nd, in 1959. If you pay attention to this blog at all, or if you were lucky enough to know me back in the eighties, then you don’t need to be reminded of how important The Smiths were to me back in the day. I was so gay for them. Interviewing Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr was definitely one of the highlights of my life and career. Later on, I am going to play The Queen is Dead over and over until my eardrums cry out for mercy. Happy Birthday, Mozz!
