Fourth of July in Brigantine.

This is blowing my mind…somehow, I had no idea until this morning that prog supergroup Asia’s self-titled debut album was the No. 1 album in the U.S. for all of 1982 — a year widely believed to be one of the best ever for pop/rock music? Love the album and obviously knew it was a hit, but No. 1?! This was the year Madonna released her debut album. It was MTV’s first full year on air. And, yes, the biggest selling album of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, was released — but not until November 30 so it didn’t have time to even make the top 5 for 1982.

Well, last night’s @garbage and @tearsforfearsmusic show at PNC Bank Arts Center was an all-timer for me. Both bands sounded amazing. I had only seen Garbage once before and that was in the early 2000s, so it was fun to see them again after all that time. I think this was at least my fifth time seeing TFF since 2004/05, and this was hands down the best I’ve ever seen or heard them. And it was Curt Smith’s birthday! “Woman in Chains” just hit different last night after the horrific action taken by the fascists of the Supreme Court. I was looking forward to seeing Carina Round with TFF, but she had to leave the tour to hit the road with her main band, Puscifer. But her absence allowed me to experience the force of nature that is Lauren Evans.

In a ridiculously long and winding security line, but we made it to PNC Bank Arts Center for @garbage and @tearsforfearsmusic!

Proud to have contributed an early demo of “Looking for the Light” from my Ferocious Designs music project to this 42-track compilation released today by BlowUpRadio.com in the wake of today’s horrific Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and decades of women’s and reproductive rights. Visit RockAgainstHate.org to donate and download.

We had an early birthday party in the backyard for our son Graham last weekend, so he could celebrate with his friends before they all scatter for the summer. My wife made the unfortunate mistake of getting way too close to the child with the piñata stick. But my son’s demonic laughter is even more disturbing than the sound of my slowed-down reaction.
