Ever have one of those days?
Today was one of those days that just flat out sucked! I won’t bore you with the details, but it blew big time. And I’m almost always a “cup-is-half-full” kind of guy. Anyway, it leads me to ask the question, what’s a good cheer-up song? Or a go to song for when you have a bad day or are feeling blue? Bob Marley’s “Kaya” can almost always bring a smile to my face. “Y.E.M.”, “Franklin’s Tower”, Robert Randolph’s “Press On”, Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day”, the Talking Heads’ “Naive Melody” are amongst many others. What are yours? I’d love to hear your personal favorites. Let me know!
Phish — 4/15/94 (Fifteen Years Later)
Great piece written by Scott Bernstein of Hidden Track fame commemorating his first Phish experience:
Fifteen years ago today I experienced one of the most life changing events of my existence on this planet. On April 15, 1994, I went to the Beacon Theater to see a quartet from Vermont. Little did I know that I’d spend the next ten years following Phish to the ends of the earth, and wind up meeting nearly all of my best friends through a mutual love of the little band that could.
