Despite the continuing shoulder and arm pain (the neck and back stuff seems gone, thank goodness), he's enjoying himself. He played and sang 5 of his songs last night in Santa Barbara.
He's currently on his way to San Francisco.
In the meantime the AP article about The Year Before the Flood published yesterday. Here's a link to it from the New York Times.
Though there are a couple of errors and mis-quote, it's very good; I really like this part:
Tom Lowenburg, co-owner of Octavia Books in New Orleans, said readers appreciate Sublette's perspective and gift for storytelling.
''He has a very interesting mind,'' he said. ''He's able to draw from all different directions and process it all in a way that is unique. He is one of those people who takes in a lot, has a very broad sense of things and is able to see things differently, but is not pedantic."

Wonderful piece in the Times. I'm going to have to pick up Ned's book when Citizen K. is finished.
I finished reading it yesterday! Wonderful, complex, moving. It made me envious and fearful at the same time.
Fearful = crime (and for me the virulent redstaterethugracism and all the rest -- not to mention THEIR corruption)
Envious = Communuity built on music. + other things too.
He was good on the radio last night; he addressed the crime vs community built on the music + the other things too.
Love, C.
