I'm on the bus right now watching the MTV Video Music Awards, and quite honestly, I have no idea why. Jack Black is kind of funny, but everything else is kind of ridiculous. We played Austin tonight, and it was a lovely show as always, so thank you Austin. I bought some more CD's and records the other day, this time it was the new Tom Petty, the new Bob Dylan and an Elvis Costello record. I bought it at a great record store in New Orleans, I love cities like New Orleans, cities that have some kind of indefinable spirit running through it, the city kind of feels alive even if no one is on the street. Benj and Fuzz and I went to the St. Louis Cemetery and it was so odd, the cemetery is so old, I saw head stones dating back to the 1830's...and it was smack in the middle of some housing projects and across the street from a Chevron gas station, so, it was kind of a strange juxtaposition. Something that is rather spiritual, sacred, and still sitting there, unaffected, for so long....hmm, I don't know. Is Black Eyed Peas getting on anyone else's nerves? Sheesh. They just won a VMA..go figure. Congratulations to Fergie and the gang.
