wilco
man, wilco can put on a show. they came out with a dark edge for the first hour of the set. the set list lightened progressively as the show went on but they always kept the 'wilco distortion' at the end/between songs. it's the nicest sounding distortion i've ever heard. they ended with some classics and i think they played every song off the new album. great show (i didn't want it to end)!
during the show we heard of steve jobs passing. i was thinking about his influence on pop culture and when you think about it - it is pretty amazing. first, there is apple. then, the pixar franchise which produced some amazing films that yielded him a pretty large share of disney. then, you think about how itunes revolutionized the music/media industry. not to mention iphones, ipads, etc. amazing how he was able to guide his company from being a fringe computer company for fanatics to being (arguably) the major player in personal electronics. truly an icon. he was even able to out run his pancreatic cancer longer than most are able.
anyway, i rode in this morning and the traffic didn't seem quite as bad. and the weather - oh the weather! i'm trying to take it in while it lasts (the average high temp by the end of october is 52 here in madison).
i sure wish we were independently wealthy so i didn't have to work. i'd still do things for enlightenment. like, i think i'd go to law school just to do it (i don't really want to practice but would like to take the coursework). maybe we're in the steve jobs will? i'll take 0.1% of his accumulated wealth (around 8.6 million). yea, that would just about do it.
happy thursday.
