Libation report: I stopped hours ago, like a good citizen. However, the couple next to me produced an astonishing and pungent aroma and perhaps I am feeling its effects.
Young Wilson is a local rock journalist who appears to be 14 but has been out of college for two years already. Kid, I got socks older than you.
We ran into him in the parking lot and he has been our entertaining, helpful (two words: beer runs) and energetic Sancho Panza for the day. At the end of the evening, he and I end up side-by-side on a hillside as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers take the stage.
No doubt Wilson connected young music junkie that he is can quote chapter and verse on so many of the bands here that I can even pretend to have heard of. But now, hes ready for what he readily admits is the highlight of his day: a rock star even older than this dude standing next to him me, of course.
The band opens with You Wreck Me. Wilson responds with whoops and claps, then turns to me and says, Is this a new song? I dont know it.
You have much to learn, Grasshopper.
