WIRTW #757: the 'that's how I'm feeling' edition


For a glorious 90 minutes last Wednesday night, my kids and I forgot all of our worries and bonded with 2,000 like-minded souls over the music of Mr. Jack White.I love the music of Jack White. I fell in love with a band at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom on August 10, 2001. The White Stripes were playing that night. I didn't know much about them before that concert. I had heard about some up and coming band, brother/sister (maybe) duo. I went to the Beachland to check them out. I was hooked by the opening chord from Jack's guitar and enraptured by the end of their set. I couldn't find any video online from that show, but I did find a complete recording of a show they did in London just four days earlier.

I've since passed that love on to my children, which brought us front and center at Cleveland's Agora last Wednesday night. You can hear all about it on this week's installment of The Norah and Dad Show (with special guest, Donovan) — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Overcast, your web browser, and everywhere else you get your podcasts.
