  • Seven Years On: Back To Life, Back To Reality. But…

    Today is September 11th, and while I would not only like to refrain from making political statements in addition to not sharing too much of my personal life on this blog, I have written something in reference to the events on this date in every blog I’ve ever had. This should be no different.

    I always scratch my head when I speak to people or read the op-ed page in the newspaper (yes, I still read the paper) and hear or read people saying that people should forget the events that happened on this date. There are plenty of things in life I have no problem forgetting. You can forget songs, you can forget what you had for breakfast, you can forget your house keys, but there’s no way I can forget a day when my world and the lives of so many people changed for good.

  • R.I.P. Leroi Moore: 1961-2008

    As a veteran of Dave Matthews Band concerts that now run into the double figures, I am completely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of DMB’s saxophonist Leroi Moore, apparently from complications arising from an ATV accident that occurred in June. I’m struggling to describe what Leroi’s contribution with the band was, not because it was minimal, but because each of the band’s five members contributed so much. It’s hard to imagine the band’s sound without any of the five individual members. This is definitely a blow. My condolences go out to Moore’s family and everyone in the DMB camp.
