Storm Front

Posting this on another thunderstorm laden day in May 2017. Actually, a Sunday and the roofer has just popped by to reposition some tarpaulins on our roof which he is replacing. Angie sent him a short video earlier of the buckets under one of the roof windows being filled by a torrent of water from one of the downpours!

Anyway, the reason for the post is that on 9th May 2017, my "Weggefährte"  (lit. path companion) of the last 30 odd years, Nogbad went to a Bob Dylan concert in London. Exactly 27 years earlier, to the day, he, Angie and I were at a Billy Joel concert in Munich's Olympia Hall, one of the stops on his "Storm Front" Tour.

Still have the somewhat faded T-Shirt so while the photo isn't from the day, the purchase was.

In these stormy days of Brexit, Trump etc, both Storm Front as well as Dylan's Times are a changin might be appropriate. However, the results of elections in Holland, France, last weeks German state election in northern Germany and today's latest state election in the biggest populated state around Cologne have shown that some are keeping their heads.

And to top it off, today 9th May is Billy Joel's Birthday, born 1949.
