ROME!!! What an absolutely amazing experience it was to finally play in one of the most historic and beautiful cities on the planet. Driving around the city is like traveling through a historical adventure where you can see in real life what you spent most of your life learning about, and all you lucky Romans have the privilege of seeing it everyday. When I see this clip, I remember how sick Jared was and that even though three different doctors told him it was impossible for him to sing the show without seriously injuring himself he said “no fucking way am I missing Rome” and we did the show anyway and it was FUCKING AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to do it all again! minus the colds and sore throats of course… ;-)

The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace’s death, but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with ultimate questions—questions of life’s meaning and of the value of work and society—through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity that were Wallace’s unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of our time. |
