i will live past 26

i once decided when i was young and foolish that all my siblings stopped listening to music after they turned 26. i was, of course, wrong, but i've been almost superstitiously wary of my 26th birthday ever since. well, i'm happy to say that today, 6 days after my 26th birthday, i bought three sets of concert tickets. the first was to flogging molly, the second was to the violent femmes and the third was to the pixies. this will see me into december without having lost my old self.
i read an interview with charles thompson where he told how his famous "black francis/frank black" thing came about. apparently, he decided that if a pseudonym was good enough for iggy pop, than it was good enough for him.
all i have to say to that is:
oi oi.
