I know gas is more expensive there, but when it’s eleven o’clock at night safety becomes a factor, I’ve had friends who’ve been mugged at gas stations and my life is worth more than five dollars.Īnd when I pulled away from the station and was sitting at the light I was stunned that the music was still playing, normally it cuts off in this spot, the satellite can’t see through the trees, and it’s quite a long interval before the light goes green, so I know.Īnd after merging back onto the 405 I was cycling through the tracks on the Offspring album and just after I passed the point where Sepulveda cuts underneath the freeway, I heard a piano. So after my hike, I stopped at the 76 station in Bel-Air. It’s one thing to have a hit, quite another to have another and quite another to be able to draw an audience not only for years, but for decades. But I’ve got to give them credit, for persisting and existing, which is the hardest thing to do in today’s marketplace. Put out an album and even fans may not be aware you’ve done so.
Today you put out an album and then it immediately disappears into the ether, which is why so many new acts put out singles, on a regular basis, trying to maintain mindshare. I was listening to the new Offspring album, “Let the Bad Times Roll.” I was surprised how good it was. And I would have listened even longer if there wasn’t a podcast I wanted to hear, which turned out to be a waste, because talking heads lie and musicians, when they’re in the groove, do not.
I listened to this song seventy five minutes straight last night.
