My friend Alex Pierce who saw Radiohead with us last night, initially wasn’t going to go.  I spoke to him about a week ago and said, “Imagine if you had the chance to see Nirvana, and didn’t.  How would you feel?”

I woke up this morning, in a daze, with a strange sense that i didn’t even go anywhere last night.  But now, as i sit here in the trusty Aeron… recalling the events of last night, I can truly say that I was able to see the best band the world has ever seen in concert.

I knew that I would be extremely affected by the show but I could not have understood, prior to seeing them, how much.

They did NOT play my favourite song of theirs, Karma Police, but I wouldn’t hae changed one second of the experience.

So, thank you Radiohead, thank you to all it’s members… for showing me how far I have to go as a musician… thank you for letting me rasie my arms and scream out your songs at the top of my lungs… and thank you for coming to New York to change my life.
