pain lies on the riverside

a couple bands i loved when i was in college are playing in the area this summer.

i saw them then. those concerts are shiny memories. i don't care much for where their music has gone since.

so why do i want to buy tickets now?

*sigh* that album was about the first Gulf War. it's not just "old," it's old.

I'm still too much in denial to consider anything from my teenage years (or barely teenage--gah) as old.

I had Throwing Copper on cassette and picked up their "best of" CD a couple of years ago.

my roommate was from York, their hometown, so when Mental Jewelry came out it was a big deal to her (and my introduction). York really is a shit town.

Blues Traveler is on the same bill. i'm actually recognizable in a Rolling Stone photo from a show in 1993. i have one of Chan Kinchla's guitar picks floating around the house somewhere. i lost interest around the time John got WLS and Bobby died.

If you ever want to listen to some of the others I got them all! There are a few rough albums in there but for the most part I still really enjoy the majority of their music and the way the albums flow with a theme.
