A muddy Sunday at this year’s #ACLFest and a look back. Neil Young in 2012, Willie Nelson in New York at 92, more Wilco shows than anyone should admit to, how my kids’ music has influenced mine, and the dawning realization that some things aren’t made for my demographic… and that I’m okay with it.

"Eleven thousand years ago, a few miles from where I’m sitting, a young woman was buried with a grinding stone and a fossilized shark tooth she likely wore around her neck. Her people lived here for generations and probably watched the morning sky the same way I do now, waiting for the first light."
