I guess its seen the sparks a-flowin, no-one else would know-my radiohead tribute

If a stranger on the street asked my my favorite band, my answer is always Radiohead.  From playing The Bends on repeat for  years straight and spending  too many nights of my sophomore year in college cooped up with friends listening to In Rainbows, everything in between just melts in along side those albums.  In 2008 i went to lollapalooza in chi-town to see Radiohead for the first time. I went expecting my life to be forever changed and while the experience was other-worldly, the concert I more can't get out of my head was Rage Against the Machine from the night before.

 
The sheer madness of every song, every person and every mosh pit I went through is unreal. The crowd formed into literal whirlpools, where every pit was its own separate entity. We were in the front, of course, bone crushing dancing drunk and laughing our heads off 

You feel invincible, you feel like you could live forever.

The next night was Radiohead, and my friend Adam and I camped out for hours beforehand. It's a complete different experience being in the front then the back, for all I could see was the hundred people infront of me and then the stage.  From the back all you can see is 100,000 people and the mere  glimpse of the dancing man.

 Whats funny about this show is that I honestly can't remember too much about it.  I  was there, I was sober, I was less then 10 rows of human bodies away from Thom Yorke. I was  in another world inside my head... it was one of those perfect shows and that i live to tell about  every second.

hey

I know that bands evolve and as time changes they lose those aspects of their music that you fell in love or obsession with. At this time of my life I am busy discovering new bands that get to me the same way that Radiohead used to.  Its an uphill battle and most times it seems like I can't keep up and nothing fits. it just doesn't fit in me. I have to tell myself that it's not worth losing my head over, tell myself...

idiot, slow down, slow down.

Sometimes I get overcharged,that’s when you see sparks.
They ask me where the hell I’m going?
At a 1000 feet per second
