Two amazing concerts the past two nights with my best friend (Isbell and Stapleton)
My best friend and I have know each other since we were elementary school age. We were a natural fit because we were both nerdy, both only children, and we both were farm kids in TN. He’s the only brother I’ve ever know, and we’ve surely fought like siblings when we were teenagers, but we’ve never not been close. He is the godfather to my kids and I’m the godfather to his daughter. He recently got back from a deployment with the Army and we’ve been catching up on our favorite pastime, going to concerts. Our wives tease us about us going on dates together, but it’s all in jest because they know we both have a passion for music and we both enjoy concerts and neither of them have that same degree of passion, so it’s a win win, especially on nights the girls coordinate to do something together while we go out.
Anyway, we both live in the Nashville area and this weekend was a unique event in that we went to concerts on back to back nights. Last night we saw Jason Isbell at the Ryman, which was an incredible show...his fiddle player and back up singer, who is also is also his wife, was his opening act...both were sensational. Tonight we saw Chris Stapleton at the Bridgestone, which was also amazing. So, cool thing from tonight’s show, Chris Stapleton called up on stage his buddy Chris Pratt to sing with him on his signature song “Tennessee Whiskey” and an extremely cool thing from last night...listen up liberal country fans...Jason Isbell had the local chapter of the ACLU inside the Ryman signing up volunteers as people came into the venue...(I don’t usually mix politics and music but I thought that was incredible!)!!
So...these songs are to friendship, and an incredible weekend with my brother!

Both are good things. 
I recently got to see Arcade Fire with my wife, such a great show.
