It seemed to be a significantly younger crowd than the last time I saw the Hold Steady, but there was still the older couple in dressy leather jackets, the older couple in ill-fitting t shirts and the older guy with tattoos and shirt with the sleeves ripped off. There were people who looked like they never went to concerts and others that looked like this was their third of the week. There was the girl who was probably from Minnesota and was wearing a Twins hat, but obviously doesn’t care about baseball, hadn’t worn that—or any—hat before.

Through Adrian, I read through dissections of three Hold Steady songs from NPR. I really enjoy Craig Finn’s wordsmithing, but I didn’t know that his songs were this crafty. I picked up Separation Sunday about a month ago and I really enjoy it. Though it can be dark and difficult to listen to at times (read a good post from Colin about hope in music).
