Of course, you all were like "It's John, not Ben, and it's Blues, not Music!!! Bastard!"
So what. I just wanted to report that San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland have treated me well so far musically.
1.) I might move into a rock n' roll house in Oakland…but probably not because I'm too professional and don't do heroin.
2.) The Bay area is the perpetual climax of music's ejaculation. It's like Venice or Paris was back in the diz-ay. Once you think you know everything, you realize you've only covered the mid west bands (mainly from Chicago and southern Illinois..and Secretly Canadian records in Bloomington, IN). California, Oregon, and Washington, (ok and AZ) are home to some of the best music the US has created. Think about the history, even. Schoenberg lived here. Phil Lesh (prior to GD) was doing the John CAGE!!! AGHHHH…and then there's the whole electric kool-aid period…then the gay 80s…and omg. Can you get enough ska, punk, indie, and rock in one place? Jazz was big too, I forgot to mention. Can't forget to mention Lee Konitz.
3.) Fuck the tourgasm. I'm having a Francisigasm.
