There are times when I really wish I knew where the hell Cory was. These times occur when I find something that he would really like or come upon a piece of knowledge that he would find particularly useful. This time it's The Band but more specifically Robbie Robertson. Not only is Robertson one of the sweetest, most badass guitarists I've ever seen, he had a style Cory would totally be bonered up over. Beyond that though he has some words of wisdom that I could see Cory getting excited over, entranced by, falling victim to something like the short quote below, which does Robertson absolutely no justice because the context in which it was said was profound and very meaningful. Despite my best judgement I decided to insert it below. I love the last two sentences. Totally badass.
"The road was our school, giving us a sense of survival, taught us all we know, there's not much left that we can really take from the road, we've had our share of--or maybe it's just superstitious... no, you can press your luck, the road has taken a lot of the great ones: Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Janis, Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis. It's a goddamn impossible way of life. No question about it."
