Le Concert pour la Change.
I just got back from a surprise guest spot at one of the "Concerts for Change." Did my heart good. My friend Bill, who books Sin-é, called me at 10 pm last night to invite me. I called him back at 2 pm today. What time do you want me onstage tonight?
He said, "Really?!"
It makes me happy to do something, just a small something, of meaning in this dark, dark time for our country. Just a very, very small something.
And it was great. Bill's a spectacular guy. The gig's right in my hood, too, and it's so much fun to saunter over to a show, rock a few tunes to some good neighbor people having some beers. There were a couple people who knew my shit, and, amusingly, some old Soul Coughing fans that had no idea what I had been up to, and were astonished to find me, randomly, in a bar on Attorney Street.
Someone called for "Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago." I said, On September 10th?! You're out of your mind!!
But I was mistaken. It was, in fact, 12:30 pm, on September 11, 2004.
