Music: Sinead O'Connor - compilation CD
Book: Conversational French
Snuck into Nine Inch Nails last night. Good concert. So many people were on some sort of alternative substance and the police/first aid just watched OD individuals fall over in the concourse until the injured idiot could crawl within touching distance of "assistance". Frightening to watch. The concert yanked me back to high school times before I could drive when my friends and I would sneak into a place called the Option to dance. "Head Like a Hole" got played every night. Good times...good memories. And then...big news...I'm damn near fainting as I write - Sinead O'Connor is playing First Avenue this November. If you've ever been to a live Anne Deming show, then you know I adore Sinead. When she retired in 2003 I cried for weeks and then decided to cover a tune of hers every single live show until she played again. WOO HOO! She's out of retirement and at the best of the very best of venues! I plan on sleeping outside the club if I have to but I insist on seeing the show and soaking up every second of a live performance that I can. Last year during an interview I answered the question "Who would you like to play music with" Answer: Sinead O'Connor. Another interview I was asked "Which artist would you like to see live?" Answer: Sinead O'Connor. "Who is the biggest influence on you musically speaking?" Answer: Sinead O'Connor! I could go on and on and on and on...but you get the point. I can seriously die happy once I have seen her perform. I would have driven hundreds of miles...and I still might. One show will not be enough. Possibly Chicago? New York? Sr. Louis? I LOVE HER! I don't gush often but here, this instance...I cannot gush enough. Hurray for the Irish-lesbian-catholic-psuedo-priest-ex-musician-now-musician SINEAD O'CONNOR!
