Twenty years

I've been looking forward to getting drunk tonight since yesterday. That can't be good. Twenty years ago today, as William Maxwell put it, "The worst that could happen had happened, and the shine went out of everything." I hope the crowd at my uncle's bar is in the mood for The Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Clash, The Replacements, Husker Du, and The Pogues tonight because that's what I'll be playing. Here's to you, Dave.

Aw, Mike. I would have come up and drank with ya. Or would that have depressed you more?! Rats.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
