Pedro

The Boston Red Sox have a new hall of famer today. Pedro Martinez. I’ve seen two Red Sox pitchers who were so good it was startling. Pedro and Roger Clemens, and Roger Clemens soiled his reputation with (alleged) steroids.

Pedro is a legend and he is more deserving of induction into the hall of fame than anyone I’ve ever seen with my own eyes.

Periscope is a Rush Fan’s Best Friend

Rush played Vegas last night.  I wasn’t there.  Fortunately, a couple of people who were there broadcast their views on the periscope app.  I couldn’t really see anything, but I could hear everything… Sort of.  Bad bootleg quality, but still good enough for me in the moment.  Sweet. 

   

Goodnight, Sweet TT’s

It’s a sad night for Boston area music.  Tonight is the last night we will have TT the Bears in Cambridge.  So many nights watching so many great shows.  Talk about your first rate downer.

(I didn’t start bringing a camera to shows until well after rock clubs stopped being a regular thing for me.  I only have pics from two trips to TT’s, one with Kay Hanley on January 3, 2007, and one with Cordelia’s Dad, two days later on January 5, 2007.  Had I owned a digital camera as far back as 1995 or so, there would probably been hundreds more to share today.)

   
 
Fare the well, oh TT the Bears.  You will be sorely missed.  Thanks for the memories.

Swankiest Car Ever

Two years ago a neighbor down the street had a really swanky looking wedding with lots of people in big cars and limos and stuff.

Today they are doing it again. This time they don’t have a limo. They went even swankier. They have a Rolls.
