My son was diagnosed two years ago. He desperately wanted help via diagnosis and medication so that his life would NOT be defined by it. The transformation once he got his meds dialed in (which didn’t take too long) was incredible. Ended up graduating with honors and started university this week.
I will admit I was hesitant to have him seen for it. I hated myself for the delay once I saw the result.
Best would be The Cure. Perhaps to the horror of other Cure fans, it happened in 2016 (rather than The Prayer Tour or the early post-punk days). First night in Chicago, that being June 10. Played a lot of my favorite deeper cuts, did four encores, 30-some songs total. I was right up front by Simon, who inspired me to pick up a bass long ago.
Worst: Well, I’ve seen worse than what I’m about to say, but considering expectations, it has to be The War on Drugs. Adam was in shambles; he spent most of the show channeling Ric Flair, endlessly shouting “Woooooo!” (prompting the audience to mockingly shout it back at him.Toward the end of the set, he challenged the venue’s sound guy to fisticuffs; I think the crowd wanted Sound Guy to accept. It’s kinda funny, I suppose, but I’d have preferred a focused show.
At the helm for plenty of important alt records (Nirvana - In Utero; Pixies - Surfer Rosa; PJ Harvey - Rid of Me) and countless others. Really enjoyed recent work with Ben Frost.
Kudos to all involved on that second ... Begovic long throw, Willock giving chase, Armstrong pressuring the keeper, Willy to Illy ... just scared the neighborhood with that shout of joy
This is my favorite Madonna song. Sexy cooing over "Security of the First World" by Public Enemy ... what's not to like?
I wouldn't be so quick to praise Kravitz for this song. From an old MTV article:
It was a bit of an embarrassing week for Lenny Kravitz, the man credited with writing and producing Madonna's single "Justify My Love." First the rap group Public Enemy popped up wondering why the percussion track in that record bore such an uncanny resemblance to a two-year-old P.E. track recorded with live musicians called "Security of the First World."
"I don't know which beat it is, actually," Kravitz said about where he got the rhythm track. "It's just one of those beats you find on the floor somewhere."
Then Ingrid Chavez, the singer and actress who costarred in Prince's "Graffiti Bridge" flick, turned up claiming that she had written and recorded "Justify My Love" with Kravitz in Los Angeles the previous summer, and that Madonna had merely copied her demo. This seemed to jog Kravitz's memory, as he quickly announced that it was true and that he'd had Chavez sign an agreement giving her 25 percent of the songwriting royalties in return for his taking full credit for writing the song. Kravitz said he did this for "personal reasons."
