MOG

Well, a musical snapshot of me right now would feature a few things:
1. Me streaming Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride off CMT.com for the jillionth time, wondering if they put drugs in her music.
2. Me thrilled that after watching Excalibur, my stepson is walking around humming "Carmina Burana." He's already a chorushead, and also percussionist in the school band...
3. ...which leads me to the biggest thing: me at the Police concert, 10 rows or so behind the stage, in the Stewart Copeland Seats, where you could watch him dance manically at his 3-sided percussion rig, including his giant Paiste gong. I've always adored Stewart, and although I wouldn't really count the Police as among my favorite bands, they made some killer records, and he did a great job on drums. Their vibe wasn't for all day every day, but sometimes it was beautiful ("Secret Journey") and sometimes it was funny and sometimes dark ("Bombs Away") and sometimes so positive (all of the Garden dancing to "Every Little Thing..." was lovely). Sting solo is a whole other story of course. Anyway, here is Stewart humorously posting to his own site, and here are pix of him then and now, and here are some amazing photos Andy Summers took back in the day.
Hopefully I'll have more to Mog about after CMA night (Wednesday).
