The Product of Creative Frustration

I prefer my music without the drugs

Yesterday I answered the question that’s been eating you up. Remember that DELICIOUS pink medicine you got as a kid when you had ear infections? Well, the answer is NO, you do NOT get that yummy goo when you get an ear infection as an adult. Boo, as I have not one, but two ear infections at the same time.

Last night I went to see Joseph Arthur perform at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati, where I discovered the answers to some more important questions:

  • What is it like to go to a concert with ear infections?
    Not good.
  • Would you want to pay good money to see some man high off his ass performing?
    Not so much.

(See what I mean about the camera not taking great pictures? And yes, he is singing with a mannequin head by him. Weird. And high.)

I actually thought the opening act, Annie Stela, was really good. I always prefer it when you can actually hear the singers voice and you could. Unfortunately, it cut right through my ear plugs…

    Sorry to hear about your ears. No pun intended – seriously. Ear infections are awful. They make my brain itch.

    Drugs and music have no place intersecting except for when Dwayne and Tish hum Muskrat Love while doing a double bong hit. It only works because it’s cute.

    Did you know that Jimmy Hendrix – and this is true – wouldn’t play high? He’d sing anthems to every chemical on the Periodic Table but the young man never got lit onstage. I think a lot of people miss this point about him and give up crappy music experiences like the one you got last night. The boy should’ve known better. I hope you threw your glass at him.
