Low at the Triple Door
What a great show. They are nineteen times better live than recorded, and Alan Sparhawk is a quietly demented wonderboy.
At one point late in the show, between songs, he asked “Does anyone out there have any problems we can solve?”
Someone sitting front and center yelled out “My dog won’t stop peeing in the house!”
Without thinking about it for even a moment, Sparhawk replied “You should take it to a dog chiropractor.”
When the dog man’s partner asked where they could find one, Mimi the drummer immediately said “I would think they’d be pretty much everywhere.” Then followed a brief discussion of the bassist’s experience with the hippie vet in Minnesota who helped his cat, which had been peeing blood.
So yeah, doubleplusawesome even if they didn’t play “Monkey.” Here’s my favorite music video ever, to show you 1/19th of what you missed:

Coined today
“If life gives you poison, make poison-ade!”
Is “coined” the right term for this? Anyway, I own the T-shirt rights.

Overheard at Top Pot
Three older folks are talking derisively about the Clintons.
Oldest man, in Bill’s defense: Well, he was a Rhodes Scholar…
Somewhat younger man: Just because you’re a Rhodes Scholar, that doesn’t mean you’re smart.

Is that the new slam on Clinton? That he’s dumb? From people whom I assume support Bush? Awesome.
You said it, sister
