Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at Summerfest

Amy and i drove up to see Strummer the day after i had caught him at the Metro.  She was 7 months pregnant with Emmett at the time (who we were calling "Lump").  How's that for love?

Strummer was good.  Not as good as the night before, but that might have been the venue (outdoors, etc.).  I did notice that he did, in fact, change the ad libbed parts of the songs to reflect the fact that we were in Wisconsin and not Chicago.

Violent Femmes, Fishbone, Jellyfish at Summerfest

I distinctly remember motorbiking up to Milwaukee with Lisa on the back of the bike.  Everyone else was in, I think, Morgue's car.  I remember swimming in the lake during the day, despite the fact that i doubt we were supposed to.

Violent Femmes were great, but only a fool follows Fishbone.
