In an effort to add some discipline to my easily distracted mind, I am creating this blog to practice writing and photography on a somewhat regular basis. The title comes from a story about my Irish Grandfather. When I was a baby anytime my mother would ask him if he wanted to hold me, he would say "Does he still shit in his pants?" It sounds like something I would say about a baby and it makes me laugh every time I think about it. BTW, YOU CAN CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE IT FULL SIZE.

October 27 The Gaslight Anthem
It's been an extremely busy month for me. Which at my age and deteriorating physical condition means I'm fucking exhausted. But I did manage to drag my ass to the House Of Blues to see The Gaslight Anthem tonight. They put on a good show. Everyone, including me sang along to all of the songs. I always try to see the opening acts when I go to a concert. Tonight I missed the first band, but saw The Loved Ones and Murder By Death. The Loved Ones were good time rock and roll band, very similar to the headliners. I was impressed by their cover of Conor Oberst's "I Don't Wanna Die In A Hospital". Murder By Death really impressed me and it wasn't because the blonde female cello player was smoking hot. Well that helped but they had a cool punk country type of sound. Maybe not country more like 1950's rockabilly. No that doesn't seem like a good description either. How about Johnny Cash fronting a punk band with an electric cello player? Hell just check them out for yourself here.
