Best Show of My Life (part one)

Sunday, March 18, 2006
Belcourt Theater in Nashville.
Band: Robyn Hitchcock, Peter Buck, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, John Paul Jones, me.

I swear.

I don't know how long it lasted, but not nearly long enough. We did a bunch of Robyn songs, a Grateful Dead song (Candyman), three Dylan songs (Tiny Montgomery, Lo and Behold, Queen Jane Approximately), and two Gillian Welch songs (Elvis Presley Blues, Look at Miss Ohio). It was like the other side of amazing. And then we had dinner. I wish every day was that good.

Everything else is a little who fucking cares at the moment: work, Work, home--all a predictable soup; fuck the highs because i live for the lows. My back has been assaulting me for a couple of weeks now, leaving me physically incapacitated for a few days, then forcing me to walk with a cane. The cane is embarrassing in a way, but in another way it looks kind of perfect. I am nothing if not hobbled.

Looking forward to tour.
