rock steady

at last night's hold steady show it occured to me that one day all the tattooed-hipsters are going to be clamoring for beds in the same nursing homes and some young nurses aides are going to have to bathe their backsides and help them wipe and all the tattoes of mother and anarchy now and rufus for-eva! will sway and shake on their bye-kid muscles as they slowly raise their hands so the attendants can wash in their armpits.

oh! the humanity!

the hold steady were good, though i was surprised how much they sound like, basically, a cross between the boss and van morrison with just a touch of skynard. they are classic rock guys and mostly it's unironic. which is refreshing, after a fashion. (i could have done without the keyboardist's porkpie. that and the resurgence of skateboards everywhere is a little overwrought).

my date tonight cancelled. which is okay 'cept i'm all gussied up and in a mood for love. so i might go see fallen angel. who wants to come?
