"The body stiffens, tires and aches

In its wrinkled, blotchy skin

With each decade more camouflage

For the wild-eyed child within"

What an unusual, and perfect way to describe growing old...

There were two bands and one solo artist on my bucket list of acts to see live in concert before they stopped performing (or died). One band: The Rolling Stones, which we saw at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005. Another band: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, again at the Hollywood Bowl in 2017 at Tom's penultimate concert, just one week before he died.

The solo artist is Peter Gabriel. We were lucky enough to see his i/o concert at The Forum on Oct. 13, 2023. This is a cover of my favorite song from his as yet unreleased i/o album, the only one that he didn't play that night!

So Much
