Pearl Jamming
I will be seeing Pearl Jam for the first time next week. I am looking forward to seeing how Steve responds to the concert. MSG is currently showing a PJ show from 2003 that Steve was actually at. Funny how in one week from right now, I will be in Madison Square Garden watching the same band, even though Eddie will, I suspect be a tad bit more scruffy than he was in 2003.
In other news, I am busy busy busy reading Susan Jacoby. I like her except that she makes me feel that a huge part of my life belongs in "an abnormal psychology book." She also reiterates what I already knew about my dad, which is not so much sweet as it is sad. I don't agree with my dad in many ways, but I'd rather protect him than let him know everything there is to know about me. I'm surprised he didn't flip when I acknowledged that I have smoked cigarettes before when we were talking about addictions the other day. The more I live apart from my father, the more I have grown to love him. But I still can't help but feel sad that so many people would think poorly of my dad if they knew all of his beliefs.
