Oh Rob I thought about you all night. I felt like you must have been having a horrible time. I showed up at the club at around 7:50 and was pleasantly surprised that A) they had opened the doors early and B) that I found parking right outside the club.

I start across the street and see the sign but unable to comprehend what it meant "Matt Good Postponed". huh? Then one of the roadies met me on the street telling me the shows cancelled Matt was taken to hospital by ambulance. My mouth was on the ground. He told me that they took him from the tour bus and that he felt he would be okay. All I could think about was Rob, whom I had seen earlier in the afternoon in line. Rob had to witness Matt being taken away. Could not process it. Any way this dude chatted with me for 5 minutes which was kind as i was really in a state of shock. We talked about the nutty tour and he told me that they have cancelled Mondays show as well and that Matt has been going through alot of stuff lately, and having a hard time. I told him to let him know that his fans are rooting for him

wow what an evening is right.

oh no! How are you this morning Rob? *hugs*

I hope Matt's okay!

Wow thats horrible, Raymi hasn't posted anything about it in her blog yet. Hopfully he's fine and will be back in Kingston before he leaves.

I emailed Matt as soon as I heard and just got an auto response saying he was "away" and unable to check his mail. He's not been on AIM either. As soon as I hear anything I'll let you all know.

*worried*

*sad*

awwwwwwwwww. i hope matt's all right. aw robbo, you were so excited.

Running for Home suddenly makes a lot more sense, I've found.

So low for how high

it's all about emotion. clearly not about a concert, more likely love. it's all the same, though. you start out high, excited, enthralled, in love. then something happens. you break up, you lose out, disappointment, exclusion, dark realization. Suddenly you're low. So damn low, especially considering how high you used to be. I always liked the line, but I didn't really get it before.

Anyways, I was surprised to find today that I'm listening to MG without feeling like crap (which is how I figured it would be - thinking about the show while I listen). I'm still thinking about it, wishing everything had worked out for all concerned, hoping Matt's okay, wondering if/when he'll play here again. But it's helping me really listen to the songs again. When you listen to an artist too much, songs become routine, lines and sounds remembered rather than heard. I'm hearing them again now.

And I love them all the more for it.

I hope Matt's okay. I hope he plays here soon. I want to be excited about shows that will be, not regretting a show that wasn't.

awww Robbo *hugs*

So much Matt Good stuff takes on a totally different light for me recently.

I couldn't listen all day at work, but I had BM in the car and made it home without crying any more.

i love it when that happens. when you re-fall in love with all the favourite songs.

I always thought Running for Home was about one of two things.


Either being in love with someone, or watching someone you love deal with a drug addiction.

Could be wrong though

I hope everything is ok at home. Something personal happened in his life awhile ago that caused him to stop stop talking about his personal lifeon his blog. Also Jen's has been shut down.

Of course this is just rampant speculation, and it's really none of our business to delve into his personal life.

Rob that was a beautiful post. Soozy what is BM ( all i can think of is bowel movement and i am thinking i would be crying if that were to happen to me on the way home from work).

BM = Beautiful Midnight.

and it's all riiiiiiiiight now
take the world and make it yours again

...

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow in between you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

One of my favorite parts in any song by any artist.
