In honoring the few people who read my blog, I dedicate this one to you Bulletproof Vest. If my predictions are right, you will continue to read my blog this year despite the variable quality of its content. With that said, keep reading if you care anything about the future and what it holds for ME and maybe YOU (not specifically you, Jen).
Personally, I foresee myself attending George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic next Monday at First Avenue. Of course, YOU should too if only to hear his timeless and timely funk hit "Chocolate City." Barack Obama is no Ali, but he is "Gainin' on Ya!" in a very real way.
As usual, this February will isolate every person born on a leap year. Many of these people will try desperately to pretend its cool to have a leap year birthday. They may even try to throw a party comparable to New Year's insofar as the single most important moment is the stroke of midnight. Ultimately, this moment will pass and they'll continue on deploring their forgotten and novel existence.
March should prove especially trying for Christians in 2009. They will wander the weeks wondering why Christ would resurrect in April. Devout Catholics and preachy Evangelists will mistakenly use the Lord's name in vain. A Christian offensive will spark new controversy over how many days it takes for Christs heart to begin beating in the tomb. On the other side of the spectrum, glass-half-full Protestants will be pleased to discover they have a few weeks extra evil-doing, pan-handling and general debauchery before reminded that Christ died for their sins
April showers will likely bring May flowers. June deflowers will bring a boom of 2010 babies. July will give Obamanation a chance to celebrate its same old diversity with renewed perspective. Aw sheeee-yut meihn. I would continue, but I'm realizing upon second reading of my 2009 review that this might all be a little premature.
I forgot to mention that I am certainly attending Andrew Bird's live concert in April at the State Theater. If you haven't seen this guy live you are missing a link in the unceasing chain of events that makes music better, and better, and better, and better. One of the better, if not best, live shows I've ever seen was Andrew Bird's performance at the Guthrie. This guy makes music you can sit, enjoy and be dazzled by. Bedazzled.
Got to get back to the grind.
