Pixies with Robert Plant

This was an odd double bill as most of the crowd was unaware of who the Pixies are, even though they probably had as much influence on modern rock music as Led Zeppelin did. Plant was good. He re-imagined the Zeppelin songs which is admirable. I give him credit for still turning out new music and not turning into a parody of his old self like the Rolling Stones.


My new Toy

I got a FitBit Surge as a Father's Day present, which I am really enjoying. It tracks all activity throughout the day, but I especially like using it as I run. I was never much into monitoring my pace during a run so don't use it for that. But I like looking when I am finished.  It  records the route with its GPS so I can look at  all of the data points below at specific points in the route.

Merle Haggard

He missed some of my favorites like I Take a Lot of Pride in What I am, Always Wanting You and I am a Lonesome Fugitive. Still a very good show by an artist on my list of people I needed to see before they die.
