Right there with you. You could put this on shuffle with Seal's 1st album, Buckley's "Grace," the Rock & Soul Revue, Tori's "Little Earthquakes," and the glorious total flop that was "Randy Newman's Faust" & you'd be in my car in the mid to late 90s.

“Good Trouble” in Bastrop, TX. Maybe 100 people? Not bad for small-town TX. Lots of people honking, waving, and giving thumbs up as they passed tho. The 3-4 people who passed and gave us thumbs down or the finger were all, er, XXL white guys. Why so stereotypical, fellas?

Back after 1.5 weeks in the UK & Eurozone. A week of that in Italy. I’ve been up for 42 of the last 45 hrs. Never been nervous about dealing w/ CPB before but all went well. Saw “F*ck ICE” graffiti twice in Roma. I’m off to dream of the lights of Napoli coming on from our balcony in Sorrento.
