Indian Summer Sky

The title combines two things that I've been enjoying very much over the past few days. While it isn't exactly Indian Summer, MAN who can argue with the weather we've had?! For mid-November, this is PERFECT. Absolutely PERFECT. I got in a nice run tonight, and was in short sleeves and shorts. I was going to leave the house with long sleeves, but after two steps out the door, I wisely went back in and changed. Such a nice night. Just a mellow breeze and warm. If only it would stay like this for another month or so. T'would be nice for the heating bills, for sure!!!

The second meaning of the title relates to U2, and a song title from the Unforgettable Fire album. I've been eating up their new iPod commercial, which plays a live video version of "Original of the Species", from a Chicago show this year. It's a great spot for the iPod, but it's also a great teaser for their upcoming live DVD, which should be out any time now. Absolutely looking forward to that. The live DVD from the last tour was pretty good. This one should be phenomenal!

Also of note, although not directly related to this blog entry title, is the further developments in the Genesis reunion tour. Apparently, Phil Collins has now officially thrown his hat in the ring, as well as Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel, with the intentions that Phil will sit behind the drum kit for most if not all of the show, and Peter will sing. All that's really left is the blessing of Mike Rutherford (an almost given), and Tony Banks (trickier, but if they got Peter, should be a piece of cake in comparison), and for the band to agree on terms (think tightrope walking). I'm cautiously optimistic that this could happen for real next year sometime. No sense putting it off any longer. They're certainly not getting any younger. Then again, either are we..... 42 out.
