"I'm listening to you talk right now, and you sound like... like... a time when people used to be intelligent. Like the 60's, back when people were really intelligent."
Someone said those words to me last night. I was at one of my favorite haunts, the Burritt Room, to see Tippy Canoe and the Paddlemen, and I was chatting with a rather prominent local musician. This musician and I don't know each other that well; we've become acquainted at shows over the years, many of them his. Anyway, in the middle of our conversation, he saw reason to say that to me. I take any acknowledgement of my intellect as a compliment, but I also like that he associates my intelligence with the 1960's (in my fantasy life, I'm a total mod scenester).
Add to all of the above the fact that this man really is a very talented musician, and well... those couple of sentences pretty much made my weekend. So thank you, sir.
