I just got back from the Kraftwerk show in Philadelphia.  Hard to get to, and my knees were just killing me, but I have to appreciate what Kraftwerk do.  They gave out special glasses to make it a 3-D experience.   

 Videos are uploaded to YouTube so quickly after concerts!

 I've been trying to get myself my whole life.  As it becomes clearer, I do realize that what I fear is fear, and that there is a word for that: Phobophobia.  

Strangely, it only became a problem in my thirties...

 

I saw Philly's own, Kurt Vile, last night at Union Transfer.  Opening was the jazz group Sun Ra Arkestra.  They had a band member who is 98 years old.   

I am really into what Kurt Vile does, and have spent much time immersing myself in his catalogue.  So for that reason, I was really able to get into the show.  

I woke up to the news that there was a mass shooting on South Street last night.  3 people killed, 11 injured.      

I frequented that area so much way back when.  Imagine if I had been leaving the Theatre of Living Arts around 11:30PM and not Union Transfer...
