Joshua Tree...
Best as I can tell, stars are the result of billions of years of energy traveling at light speed into an infinite, undulating, cacophonous, universal chandelier dangling tantalizingly, but intangibly and impossibly close.
While at the same time letting us know how insignificant and lucky we are in our limited capacities to perceive what we can of their selfless, undeniable beauty.
And reminding us of how truly microscopic we are in comparison.
But affording us hope.
That maybe someday, even if it's a billion years from now, our own light will somehow travel across the cosmos to touch someone or something in some way in some similarly positive capacity, if only a fraction as profound. So that we must emphatically keep on persevering.
And emanating and reflecting that light. The light that shines within us.
The light they so fastidiously shine upon us.
The light they ultimately, violently lived and dramatically exploded and died for so that we could in fact exist at all.
As their absolute genetic & spiritual offspring.
Because, as the scientists tell us, we are all made of stardust.
And that, I think, is pretty goddamned beautiful.
I tell you what.

Green Day Story...
Back in May of 2004, Green Day was recording American Idiot right up the street from the Kibitz Room on Fairfax.
We had a residency and we played there every Thursday for quite some time. About 150-200 shows.
The first week, after they're done recording, the bass player, Mike Dirnt, shows up and digs it.
2nd week he brings the entire studio crew, including the band and engineers and producer. And they got us hammered.
I was wearing a tuxedo and their drummer, Tre Cool, had brought so many Budweisers on stage, I couldn't even drink anymore. So I just poured a couple over my head. Full tux & all.
We started really late that night. And I got drunk as fuck. You see, I had mis-timed my buzz by like 45 minutes.
But they hung around until like 2:30am. We shot the shit and joked around for hours. They told me they were jealous of me. And that they wanted to play a dive bar like that again. I offered to to switch places if even for a day.
I didn't know they wanted to play during our set, but as soon as I found out they did, I went and talked to the band after us & was like "Yo! You gotta let these guys play a few songs. This could be a historic night." Everyone in the bar wanted it to happen.
I can't say I'm the biggest Green Day fan, but it would have been awesome. If I had known they wanted to play during our set, we would have given them our instruments without question and said "Go!" But I didn't know until after we were done and the guy from the band after us, who has now of course broken up said "No."
That was pretty lame.
So the next day my drummer, the great Mitch Marine, calls me and tells me that I really fucked up by getting so drunk in front of Green Day. He was embarrassed and questioned my professionalism.
I was really hard on myself that week. And completely agreed.
But then, the next Thursday, they all showed up again. I apologized for being too drunk. And they said "Fuck no. You guys are awesome!"
I just watched them get inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame. And it reminded me of those times.
I tell you what.
