More than white noise

We went to the Hold Steady show Wednesday night. There are so many things to love about it...the crowd, the vibe (yes, really, I said it), the drinks, but most of all - above, beyond, and through it all - the music. It is about my home, and the sound grips my heart, and seeing it live just adds another dimension of joy. It feels like a revival...one I understand. And I want to be cool, everyone in the audience is cool, but in the end, we all raise our hands.
(Special thanks to my co-concert junkies, Heidi and Alan, and of course David, for taking care of Molly.)
