A Guy I Know Appears With Bruce Springsteen

Back when I was a music critic in the early/mid-1990s, I championed the work of Alejandro Escovedo, a great songwriter from Austin who is one of the godfathers of punk rock in this country. I've interviewed him many times, know his family, am friends with his younger brother, and so on. He's never become famous per se, but other musicians have always liked him. Including The Bruce himself.

This comes from the April 14 stop in Houston on Bruce's current tour. The song is "Always A Friend." Not sure if I care for the song, but I do like seeing Alejandro get some props from Bruce.

Small world, I've known Alejandro since back in his Rank and File days and what he did for the Austin music scene is the reason I moved here 20 years ago. He is an Institution.

My PC has no sound! :-)
I'll buy a new one.
It must have been good working as music critic. I love music. Different kinds of music. I like rock'nd roll from the seventies. Led, Pink Floyd, The Doors... Also like The Cure, Nirvana, Metallica... and so many others...

20 years ago, omg, 20 years ago was 1988. If there's a pill I can take to make 1988 not have been 20 years ago, god please grant my pshrink a lifetime supply of post it notes, fountain pens, and aging cheerleader big pharma reps.

I just wanted the time I was feeling terrible because of legal drugs and the time I was on withdrawal back
That would be of great help.
The 2 years I was tapering Effexor would do.
