08/26/2006: "As the World Burns"
"I play too hard when I ought to go to sleep
They pick on me because I really got the beat
Some people give me the creeps
"Every other week I need a new address
Landlord landlord landlord cleaning up the mess
Our whole fucking life is a wreck
"We're deperate
Get used to it."
Saw X last night. Second time so far, and it seems each time is the best. I was about twenty feet from Exene until the kids starting dancing, which pushed me back a bit. I wanted to hear a few songs that I didn't ("Delta 88," "The Have Nots"), but was pleasantly surprised to hear a few that they did play ("Nausea," "Breathless"). Of course, they played all the punk rock standards ("Los Angeles," "We're Desperate," "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline") and even cleverly dedicated "Adult Books" to those who work at Walmart.
Great show. N. enjoyed X also, but she was mostly there to see Rollins. Rollins Band were as expected--I never thought much of Rollins, nor his "I'm the Ubermensch" attitude; and I've always liked Black Flag better when Keith Morris was singing.
A few beers and some punk rock with someone I care about: perfect evening.
