Well, for all he’s become in the last couple of decades, at least Paul still spends some time in the heart of the country.
Sounds like our kind of road trip.
MP3: Paul McCartney - Heart of the Country (Outtake)

Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
MP3: Willie Nelson - Whiskey River

There’s a great article in the New York Times about the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin. We’ve never been, but it’s on the top of a long list. In time. In time.

Most people would probably disagree with me, but the best Jayhawks record around is called Sound Of Lies. It’s one of a handful albums that I become completely obsessed with while living in Colorado, so in honor of the Rocky Mountain vacation that I’m taking in two weeks, here’s a little sugar for your tea.
Blasting these in a Volvo station wagon while driving to Savers on Arapaho and Broadway in Boulder is probably the best place to hear em. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.

We’ve always been suckers for Eddie Vedder. Dude somehow did a bunch of things right, because let’s be honest, he shouldn’t be significant anymore. And maybe he’s not, but holy fuck is he cool. Hate him? Well, if you’ve ever seen Pearl Jam live, you wouldn’t. That band puts on an effortless rock show, every song’s a hit, and Eddie Vedder doesn’t miss a goddamn step.
Last night we saw Eddie and Laird Hamilton’s Iconoclasts on The Sundance Channel for the second time. The first time we saw it, we were overwhelmed by how annoyingly IN YOUR FACE Laird Hamilton seemed. But after watching it again, we think we have it all wrong. There’s some real cheese in the fifty minute long program, but there’s a moment where Eddie Vedder is painting a picture of Laird and he’s talking about how he’s the first guy to put in real perspective how big an ocean wave is. “He’s adding a human element to it, he’s giving it scale.” The point might be simple, and Riding Giants tries to make it over and over, but because of Eddie’s lack of drama and his extreme simplicity, you can’t help but to finally “get” why Laird is the way he is. Seems obvious, and I guess it’s ironic that we’re the idiots, not Laird, but if Laird wasn’t the way he is, he wouldn’t do the things he did. Seems like it’s the only personality you could possibly have to ride the waves he does.
Point: Those two together are way cooler than the sum of their parts.
