maybe you'll understand me
On Friday night, at around 12:30AM (OK, I guess that's really Saturday morning), I had a very strange experience. My favorite musician at age seven (Marshall Crenshaw) and my favorite musician for the past 10 years now (Mike Viola) did a few songs together on stage.
They started out with the Crenshaw standard "Someday, Someway," and while that is probably not my favorite song of his, it's perfect in every way. The moment was, well, stupendously bizarre. In a good way.
And while I imagine a few dozen others felt exactly the same way (it's not a stretch that a Mike Viola fan would be a Marshall Crenshaw fan), it seemed like it was a special moment just for me.
I'd also imagine that everyone has heard "Someday, Someway" a billion times now, but maybe you haven't. You really should.
I will come back soon and write more. Promise.

I'm curious to know more. What else did they play?
They did three songs, "Someday Someway," The Beatles' "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and "Walk Hard" from the movie.
Wow. My kingdom for a recording of that!
