this morning #2306.

this morning, whilst on my morning walk, i passed a man wearing an andrew bird t-shirt. as a fan of the musician, it caught my eye & i replied “sweet shirt, man.” then i thought about it more. it wasn’t about the t-shirt at all. what i was excited about was that he was wearing a shirt of a sort of obscure artist who i’d also heard of. “thanks, man. you’re a fan?” “of andrew bird or the shirt?” his wry smile was his answer. “well…i used to listen to his stuff a lot more. saw him in concert twice in the mid-2000’s. the last few albums didn’t really click with me though.” he nodded. “i get that. you should give my finest work yet another try. it grew on me.” “cool. i’ll do that.” i had no intention of doing so & with that, i slowly backed out of the conversation. bid him “good day” & went on my way.
