Drove down from Portland last night listening to Husker Du "Candy Apple Grey" on cassette..my CD player is down. Bought a jambox from master-blaster Ed Cole. Thanks dude...That album stands up tall, and I dont feel like I'm rocking to the oldies..I think it'd be just as good if it had been released last week..aside from the 80's production sound..but..eh..who cares...if there is a re-master out there somewhere I dont think I want to hear it..
Speaking of driving..On the 4th of July I got pulled over by the MAN !..for having burned out license plate bulbs..considering half the population was either blowing off mortars over bone dry hay-fields or weaving around the highway drunk in sport utes, I thunk to myself.."damn.this is f**king stupid."..anyway..the patroleman, although a polite sort of chap, still decided he had a live one. He had me step out of my van, put my heels and toes together, and follow the end of his pen with my eyes (while he shined a flashlight in my face)..This went on for what seemed like an eternity..needless to say, I went home unscathed. It's been a number of years since I've had a drop of booze or any other such night-time "grown-up" entertainment..but I'm kind of creeped out now driving home late...I'll have to say that driving away from a DUI stop was pretty empowering. Some years ago, that coulda been a really, really bad night...the only crappy thing about it was I somehow fried something while trying to retrieve some old gunked up license plate bulb assembly wires (and all the fuses seem intact)..so the plate is now illuminated (more or less), but the CD player and dome lights are out...which brings us back to the jambox in the front seat..hehha

Yeah, man! I've had that same cassette for 22 years and I still play it. I've been digging on the Huskers lately - something about summertime and the whine of Bob Mould's guitar just go well together.
