And besides that, Happy Fuckin' New Year! I mean it.My beloved and I are off on a musical adventure of humongous proportion. A lifetime ago, I always saw live music on New Year's Eve. It was always the same band, and it never, ever got old. I'm going all Archie Bunker here, but those were the days.
These days, we stay home and celebrate. We made an exception this New Year's Eve. Going to see Frank Zappa's son Dweezil play his dad's music. I last saw Frank in Santa Cruz in 1984. This will be something special, no doubt. Everything I have read and heard about Zappa Plays Zappa
confirms that Dweezil has worked really hard to be true to his father's compositions. Which will be cathartic as hell for those of us who still miss Frank's voice in this world. He was sort of like a musical George Carlin. Unafraid, brilliant, and funny. (Sigh)
After Dweezil, Les Claypool takes the stage.My son turned me onto Primus in the early 90's. Les Claypool at midnight! You just know that will be bizarre. We haven't been so brazen in a long time, and we need to blow out our geezer exhaust pipes. Now if we can just stay awake past 11:00 p.m. Not like the old daze, when there were various chemical enhancements!
We welcome the New Year this year in a way we have not for quite some time.
