Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
They played Madison Square Garden last night. Only eight short blocks away from my office but I couldn't go. It's just TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE. I can't afford it. The worst seats were going for upwards of $95, and I'm too old to sit in the rafters. The better seats were $400 or more. Rich people ruin EVERYTHING. Mostly, I'm shocked at how upset I am that I missed them. I try to be all Zen and whatnot but when are they going to come this way again? Ever?
ReplyDeletebtw, are you interested in the set list of Rush's current tour? It never changes from concert to concert. Lighting cues and animations are set in stone. Here's what you get if you see them:
