This might be my most treasured musical moment ever. Recorded at the Moody where I dragged my group of friends down to see some dude that I had been going on and on about as if he were Eddie Van Halen and the Eddie Van Halen Band.
I've made close lifelong friends by going to Todd's shows and they are all crushed this morning.
To me these lines are some of the best poetry ever written and seem fitting today:
Good lord if you're up there you sure got some nerve
Seems that even the wicked get worse than they deserve
We're afraid to die
Every goddamned one of us
I swear to god it's like you're making fun of us
Not worth keepin', or too good to keep
You got a better kinda secret, better wait 'til I'm asleep
And if you're so God almighty well then what's with all this mystery?
Yes, I wanna trust you, buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from me
Too soon to tell.
Sail on Todd.
