What a week. An enormous hurricane darkened the doors of millions on the East Coast, leaving countless people without power, or worse, without homes. Tragically, some even lost their lives. Although Sandy touched down in New Jersey, it seems that New York City was hit the hardest, resulting in historic closings of public transportation, streets, schools, and even the New York Stock Exchange. Both businesses and residents are now struggling to recover, trying to get back some shred of normalcy after taking such an immense hit.What a week.

He would have been 72 today. Thank you, John, for your outstanding music, and your eternal messages of peace and love. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.

Today is a very bittersweet day. On the one hand, it's the anniversary of the largest terrorist attack the United States has ever seen, but, on the other hand, it's also the day that the Dave Matthews Band released their 8th studio album. It seems somewhat inappropriate to even include those two events in the same sentence, as if the release of a new record could have the same magnitude as the horrific loss of lives on September 11th, 2001. And still, in a very respectful way, this is exactly what I am saying. That music is that powerful.
