I drove today from Aspen to Denver for a Q and A. It was about a 3 and a half hour drive, and what a drive it was. The mountains were bright red, there was snow on the ground, and there were roaring rapids that followed the road all the way.
I brought my ipod with me and listened to:
1) Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home (I hadn't really listened to this record carefully since High School and wow, was I floored! I suddenly remembered why I loved him so much.
2) David Byrne - Grown Backwards (I hadn't been crazy about this record until today. Today I loved it. A great, great artist.)
3) Frank Black and the Catholics - One More Road For the Hit (Frank Black is my favorite singer-songwriter of all time. This album blows me away. Every single song on it blows me away. Unbelievable).
4) David Bowie - Reality (I hadn't ever really listened to this album carefully until today, and I was mesmerized. It integrates everything he's ever done. The work of a beautiful soul.)
That drive was the most fun I've had in weeks, thanks to Messrs. Dylan, Byrne, Black, and Bowie.
