Watching an MTV special on the Video Music Awards, and I'm re-experiencing a certain part of my life all over again. Soul Asylum singing "Runaway Train". Eddie Vedder and Neil young singing together, Pearl Jam onstage, "Sweet Home Alabama" sung by the Red Army Choir from Moscow. Bush, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Hole. U2 and Madonna so many times. The year that Guns N Roses and Nirvana played.

Used to religiously watch these awards, but not the past couple of years. Mostly because I was always at work and I didn't have cable anyway. Maybe tonight I will watch.

It's weird, and I don't know what is happening to me as I get older. It scares me a little, that I want to hang onto all this so badly.

I saw Soul Asylum in concert a few years back. It was like this "surprise" concert where the performing artist was not revealed until the last minute. Bad advertising if you ask me because there were only a handful of people there but it was really fun!

Yes, brings back memories for me, too. Strange the connection we can have with music, you know?

I saw about ten, twenty minutes of the awards tonight. And I just have to say describing U2 as "able to throw more bling than most of the posses in the house" just sounded wrong...

It was lame. I was disappointed. Nothing really exciting or funny happened. Bah. Where's Marilyn Manson when you need him?
