I'm Back!

I'm Back!

I know it has been a while since I posted...
October and Novemeber were crazy!

From my last few updates you know I 
was busy with
the Project to help my friend meet Stone Gossard.

If you would like to read about the
adventure you can go here
to
and read all about it!
 The last few posts there are of our time
with Stone and a few other 
members of Pearl Jam.

It was an amazing time for me and my friend
Clinton.

I thought I would just share a few photos
of the trip with you here
today just to get back into the swing of things!



Glad to be back guys!
Thanks for stopping in...
December is going to be a blast!

I would like to say that if you have not seen 
it on the other site....
My little project worked!

I am over the moon for him

to be able to go with him

Last Tuesday I attended the Pearl Jam
show in Philadelpia, PA..
an amazing night indeed!
I got 4 of my favorite songs at the show
and one or two
were ones they don't play that often.
 
I'll be sharing my roadtrip with
you here this next two weeks...
following the band from 
Baltimore,MD
to
Charlottesville, VA
to
 Charlotte, NC...

Excited and nervous.
ready to meet up with so many fellow
Jammers who have become like
family
and to hang out with Clinton for
a few days and watch
his dream come true!

Until then here is a clip from the show at Philly...
 
WASH
one of my favorites
now checked off my PJ bucket list!

Vitalogy ,Lightning , and a game of 7 degrees?

Sometimes life gets in the way...
So today is Viatlogy Monday....

While reading early on I caught this
little fun passage about what to do
if struck by lightning....

 (excuse my photography)
Throw water on the person...use artificial respiration because
people who have been declared dead have recoverd
up to an hour afterwards?
Yeah - don't think any of those are going to work.
The best part is the last -
If you can find a battery pass an electric current 
up and down the spine and extremities for 2 minutes...
God only knows what an 1880's battery was like?
I'm hoping this was in the vein of forethought for
what we now use 
known as an AED or
 an  automated external defibrillator.
and here are some illustrations
of what "CPR" was like in this era...
  to help inhale...
 to help exhale....
I'm guessing most patients did not recover !
Yikes....
How am I relating this to PJ music today?
Well the whole lightning blot thing struck me as funny
because of the new album...
"Lightning Bolt"
and then this happened at Wrigley Field
the night they debuted the new track
titled aptly
"Lightning Bolt" as well...
 Pretty crazy huh?
So now we have started a 7 degrees of Vitalogy thing right?
Here is the track played at Wrigley Field...

and by they way...
lets make another connection -
1st the book-
2nd the title of the new album-
3rd - the lightning strike
4th - the song "Nothingman" on Vitalogy
the lines
"caught a bolt of lightning - cursed the day he let it go"
So we have made a connection from 1880 all the way around to 2013.
Hmmm....
things happen for a reason right?

Have a Rockin' Day guys!
