Well, I also think about my music, my job, and going to hockey and soccer games (and subsequently narrowly avoiding death and/or jail). But the rest is pretty much Bob. With a release schedule like that, there's always something new and fresh. Actually, it's sometimes hard to digest all of that new material. I'm definitely NOT him. I know him, and sometimes go drinking with him and his crew. Bob's an amazingly talented and genuine man and I feel extraordinarily lucky to know somebody like that. He lived the dream without selling out.

Although, I've been listening to Madison Blues (the rehearsal/live recordings of Christine's first Mac tour) a lot lately. Actually, I made a hypothetical album from the bits and pieces I have from that era, and think it may have been my favorite Mac album yet. Christine's voice could be a little rough at times, which isn't a bad thing for me. (I'd MUCH rather have rough over polished these days.)

1. Crazy 'Bout You
2. When Will I Be Loved (BBC Sessions)
3. Dragonfly
4. Purple Dancer
5. Down At The Crown
6. I Can't Stop Loving Her
7. Open The Door
8. Lonely Without You
9. When I See (BBC Sessions)
10. Preachin' (BBC Sessions)
11. It's Alright Now (from a bootleg I have from the tour)
12. Trinity
