Twenty-Five

Today, we are in 1990, visiting Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.

It's a great show.

This is Brent Mydland. He was a hell of a musician, and he was a great singer and decent songwriter as well.  He died of an overdose on 26 July, only twenty days after this show.

I remember it, and in the years since I've read various accounts of his life, his struggles to "fit in" with the already-established band and the scene, and his ultimate failure to escape the trap of self-medication and escapism.

I get it.

Makes me very sad when anyone loses that battle, and I still grieve for many we've lost that way through the years...

...I'm going to stop here. Kinda heavy stuff, and I am not in a good space to say more!

Take care.
