"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal
This is from a recent Arcade Fire performance on SNL. It’s “Sprawl II,” one of my favorite songs from their album The Suburbs (which just won the Grammy for best album). I know it’s trendy to like these guys, but what can I say? It’s a good album.
(Also–how many freakin’ members does this band have??)
Have you seen them live? It’s a religious experience (just make sure you get a ticket so you can get close to their performance).
Unfortunately I haven’t. My concert-going has been pretty sharply curtailed in the last couple of years for a variety of reasons. Maybe someday…
