music is my boyfriend

I talked with a man that I didn’t know on the train today for 20 minutes.  about music.  He was telling me all about the Chicago musicians that play in the subway stations at Lake and Jackson and Clark/Lake, etc.  “It’s really the pulse of the city”.  He was so interesting and so interested in it all. We talked Bob Marley to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Lady Gaga. “You have to hear that girl out there sing Paparazzi! Ask her to sing it the next time you see her.” He named probably seven different musicians that play in the on the platforms across the city.  “I’m a lyrics man” he said.

I love how music connects us all.

i rearranged my room in the middle of the night last night. and when I woke up i couldn’t get mates of state ‘the re-arranger’ out of my head.  so i embraced it.  soundtrack of the morning.
