Elvis Ate Dynamite

… that brief transit where the dreams cross, to quote legendary Chicago DJ Lin Brehmer quoting TS Eliot.

Two days down and three to go.

Lately, I’ve found a bit more time to pick up the guitar, working on some songs I’m familiar with and some songs I’m playing for the first time. A couple of Steve Earle classics (“The Revolution Starts Now” and “The Devil’s Right Hand”), an old Pogues song I never played before (“Tuesday Morning”), and some Springsteen and Clash tunes I’m learning on a new instrument (“The Promised Land,” “Youngstown,” and “Career Opportunities”) … but more about that later.

I’m not sure the new cats appreciate it (and I know my wife and son don’t!), but everyone needs something to distract them from, well … *waves in all directions*.

Hope you’re surviving the week.
