While doing rounds during study hall the other day, I asked one of my boys what he was listening to. We then appreciated a tangential conversation about our favorite Bob Dylan songs. His ability to recall many lines from Subterranean Homesick Blues was impressive. Unfortunately, none of the boys chose to cover Bob Dylan the following evening at the student talent show. However I did hear some students cover Red Hot Chili Peppers - Obviously, they did not play the song on most previous link - but how intriguing to find this link in my search for the original song.
Friday, Nov 25th - This afternoon I walked off the enormous quantity of quality food I ate last night. It was a short distance to Flag Hill. I took my time and enjoyed the following - being on the northern side of the hills I kept cool on an other wise clear and warm day, the road was quiet and almost lonely - though it is often bustling with commercial traffic, and I was reading an interesting story about a man who wakes up to discover he is now a bug.
As I reached the top of Flag Hill, I was able to enjoy a crystal clear panoramic view of the snowy peaks. The opportunity to study this view always reminds me how wonderful the Mussoorie life is (Little sappy? My deepest apologies.) No matter how excited I am to visit Dylan's home state next month, I'm thankful for plans to return to this place at the end of January.
Saturday Nov 26th - A good evening with fellow dorm parents. We ordered chicken curry, nan and stuffed tomatoes from Golden Restaurant accompanied by some interesting "rum" labeled 100 Pirates Deluxe. Then we watched the best action/thriller/sci-fi/western movie I've ever seen, and ever will see - Cowboys and Aliens. Despite the ridiculous title, it was surprisingly entertaining.
I remember seeing pirates on the cover of City Pages once, must have been the winter or fall of 2009. Anyway - turns out it was this, then up coming, electro-pop/twin cities band in full-on pirate costume. I believe I read the article, I don't think it ever explained why they were dressed like pirates. Maybe no one ever needs to explain why they are dressed like pirates.
Q: Is it odd that I recalled this random magazine cover while trying to think of an MN band which I could somehow link to "pirates"?
