Duncan Soup – A Dish of Duncan Discourse

>It was so hot yesterday that Theo enjoyed a mini Magnum popsicle at lunch. As you can see, his eyes were apparently bigger than his stomach.

>Anne-Laure and I went to see Neil Young the other night. We arrived early, so we were able to be really close to the stage (there was only a handful of people in front of us). Neil was in a mood to jam, so the show was LOUD. Unfortunately, he didn’t play as many acoustic numbers (which is what we wanted to hear).

There were a couple of Spinal Tapesque moments though: First, Neil fell on stage and knocked over a speaker after his guitar chord got caught, but he kept on playing. Then at the end of the show, his guitar strings broke and he began waving it around creating a rather cool humming sound.

Here’s the set list:

Mr. Soul / I’ve Been Waiting For You / Spirit Road / Love And Only Love / Hey Hey, My My / Too Far Gone / Oh, Lonesome Me / Mother Earth / The Needle And The Damage Done / Unknown Legend / Old Man / Words / Get Back To The Country / No Hidden Path // A Day In The Life.

This one goes to 11…

>Here’s Theo from the party the other night. He didn’t want to wear his monkey suit (and it was way too hot for it anyway), so someone gave him this pair of ears…he was so happy that he hasn’t taken it off yet.

>Anne-Laure and I attended a party this weekend where the theme was “Les Grands Invasions” (the period when Europe was constantly being invaded during the 4th and 5th centuries). However, we decided to be a little more creative: I dressed as Ronald McDonald (the invasion of fast food into French Culture) and Anne-Laure as José Bové (the French farmer – and somewhat of a cult hero – that was jailed for destroying several McDonald’s by tractor or torch).

We were a hit!

>Jimmy Buffett just released “Scenes You Know by Heart,” a DVD of his greatest hits filmed at various concerts from across the globe. “He went to Paris” is from the show I attended in the City of Light last summer and you actually see me quite a bit.
