Modern Guilt

Went and saw one of my favorite artists, Beck, play. It was a great show that included a killer version of last spring's best single "Timebomb," a cover of Dylan's "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat," and my favorite Beck song, "Lost Cause."

"Lost Cause" is a great breakup song, one of the saddest I've ever heard. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Beck did an abbreviated acoustic version singing at the upper end of his vocal range. Quite moving...

At the end of the performance I got a text message from J, the girl I just said goodbye to. She asked if I was at the concert. I was surprised she made it- she said she wasn't going even though Beck is her favorite artist. I was so glad that she changed her mind and came to the show although texting during the concert made me feel like an aging hipster doofus.
