MORE COWBELL!?

I was driving home, listening to the radio and generally happy because the day was over. As I was driving up Highland with the radio on low I recognize the tune and so I turn up the volume. It's "Crash" by Dave Matthews Band. A song that has been played so many times the number is higher than the national deficite.

As I was listening to the song and just loving life in general I was marveling that someone is creative enough to create music. I know that sounds cheesy, especially from a band nerd like me. But it's true. I was driving my Heep and marvelling at how a group of guys sat around one day or night and created a song. My mind was happily wondering about the drum beat, the guitar riff, the sax part...and then I heard something I'd never heard before. A wood block! Wha?

Seriously, who sits around and creates an awesome piece of music and says, "We need some wood block right there?" Obviously someone in DMB! Which then reminded me of the SNL skit with Christopher Walken and the "More Cowbell" skit.

Wasn't that a random thought process? Glad you could join me on that little ride...
