Despite the weird yacht club vibe, last night’s show was pretty fun. I was all for bringing the volume down since I’m pretty sick of hearing that we’re too loud. I’m sure all the seated folks appreciated it as well. Part of me missed The Casbah. I’ll always have fond memories of the time that my old band, Canyon, was loading in to The Casbah and the soundman asked, “Weren’t you guys here two weeks ago?” When we informed him that it had been about 6 months he said, “Time flies when your on the whiskey…….and the pot.”
Right now, we’re at NPR studios in Culver City waiting for Jay to finish up an interview with Bob Edwards. Not sure when it’s airing. Jay thinks it might be part of a series.

Great Show. There were many seated around me who had never heard Son Volt and they were all impressed. My friend who works at the venue said there were about 1,000 people there. While it was indeed a weird yacht club vibe, Son Volt made many new friends last night–and the band has never sounded better.

Hey, if it’s too loud, you’re too old. Oh shit, I’m turning 40 in 3 weeks. Never mind. Fuck my life.
