I got pulled over tonight. Nothing big, just a bad taillight. The cop may have thought I was trying to evade him, pulling into the dark, always vacant Skagit Valley College parking lot late on a Friday night. As soon as I rounded the corner, his lights went on.
He was really nice, just wanted to give me a heads up that the light was off. Made sure my license was valid, I had insurance, and the old beater BMW was a registered vehicle. And he let me on my way, which was about 30 yards to my usual parking spot.
Tonights show is about polar opposites. It begins slow, soft, and dreamy. In the second half, it grows into something harsh, loud and gritty.
