Who put these fingerprints on my imagination.

 Ladies and gentlemen ... Lana del Rey

Caught EC at the Palace last night, couldn't turn my head in the lobby without reuniting with everyone I know within a five-year radius of my age, and also Sasha.

Remarkable set, just Elvis and a collection of guitars. These days he looks and dresses like a mashup between Randy Newman and Van Morrison, only happy.

Cleveland's middle-aged rock set listened adoringly through the set and three encores with a mixture of wistful nostalgia punctuated with the odd, incongruous concert interjections:

"Yeah!"

"Woo!"

"Thank you so much for coming to Cleveland!"

Temperature: 75°
Distance: 3.25 miles

How does it shape a boy's mind to be falling in love and hear Everyday I Write the Book for the first time? You never forget how it feels, that's for one thing.

Lydia and I saw Mr. C. in Hyde Park a couple years back. Absolute class act.
