The Quirks of Berk

My brother, Eric, started the band Berkeley to D.C. when he was in junior high. The name comes from a scene in Forest Gump when Jenny gets on a bus headed to D.C. (you know, when Forest says, "I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!"). Eric has truly inspired me with his life. Ever since we were little kids we have been bouncing our creativity off of each other. When Eric first picked up a guitar, not only did he teach himself how to play it, but we all discovered his natural ability to shine. A couple nights ago Berkeley was able to open for a band called Lydia. This was Lydia's last show and tour in OKC. Eric and everyone else in Berkeley were stoked to be able to participate in the event.

Here are some pictures:
*small disclaimer-There is also a keyboardist in the band not shown in the photos. My crowd position would not allow it.







Eric will be a superstar one day. To me, he will always be the little kid who never understood the concept of clothing, the best person to share bunk-beds with, and the brat who gave me Chicken Pox! Yup. I love this kid.

Rolling Stone's Greatest Songs

Say Word?! Can I just say I picked up this issue of Rolling Stone while wasting time at Walgreen's yesterday. HOLY CRAP I'm glad this exists in our world. There was a poll of over 162 artists, labels, and other people in the music industry to come up with this. DUDE! It's legit. The top 20 is full of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stone's, Elvis, and The Clash. There is timeless, classic concert photography on every stinkin' page. I love it.
