Good heavens, I was watching videos from the Grammy performances and went down an internet rabbit hole. But it's nice when it's a music rabbit hole. Just 4 hours of watching/listening to live performances and reading music articles. Did you know Paul McCartney wasn't allowed into some random rapper nobody's after party? Très amusant. Have you seen the videos for the Queen 1981 Montreal concert? Crystal clear, it's a thing of beauty.
Anyway, I happened upon an article that echoes how I've been feeling about Kanye West. Whenever he goes on a twitter rant (weekly, almost daily now) I chuckle, and then feel bad.
Prince is crazy too, but even when he changed his name to a symbol I didn't worry about him. I worry about poor little Kanye. The fellow is not well. And there's no one in his life with enough influence to keep him off twitter.
Maybe he needs a visit from Brother Prince.

Back to the music cull...
One of my dad's fave bands. One of those bands where the humorous front kind of masks how good the lyrics actually are. And they're really the antithesis of the rock n' roll image--they're songs about ordinary people.
Bad new don't ruin my appetite
Don't let the papers tell me if it's wrong or right
I just do what I do and I do it
Day by day by day by day by day
Live a life and I take it slow
Made mistakes but oh that's the way it goes
I just know what I know it
Day by day by day by day by day
Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way
I speak up when I feel it's right
I jump up when I know that I got to fight
Until then I just take it
Day by day by day by day by day
Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way
With you don't worry 'bout it
With you don't worry 'bout it
With you don't worry 'bout it
Day by day by day by day by day
Sometimes they deny it and I
I feel strangely blue?
Sometimes they deny it and I
Like the evil I get from you
Day by day you show me a better way
Day by day you help me to find a place
Day by day you help me make it
Day by day by day by day by day
Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make it
Day by day by day by day by day
Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make it
Day by day by day by day by day
Day by day I'm feeling stronger
Day by day I'm lasting longer
Day by day you help me make my way
