New York City

Again unrelated to the iPod. I finally was in New York City and it was, excuse my language, fucking amazing. I wasnt going to touch up on NYC but then I realized that a lot of the places we went to had musical inspirations.

Strawberry Fields:
Of course we had to go to Strawberry Fields in Central Park. We sat around the Imagine circle and went across the street to the Dakota to see where John Lennon was shot.

Cafe Wha?:
We went to this club in Greenwich Village. It was the very same club Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan started out in the 1960s. The house band was alright, I would have loved it if they played more classic rock. But it was just so cool to think that I was in the very same spot I was in Jimi Hendrix had played. The ledge I rested my hand on Jimi or Bob could have rested their hand on too, years ago. That club has history, that I love.

Hair:
The musical Hair on Broadway was awesome. It was all about the hippie movement: peace, love, and happiness. It was freaking awesome. The stage was effects were wonderful and the actors were great. It was funny, a bit sad, and totally shocking when the entire cast got naked. The musical numbers were marvelous. Afterwards my two favorite characters signed my playbill, which was so cool.

Birdland Jazz Club:
We went to a jazz club for dinner after the musical. This was the only thing I didnt really enjoy. I've never been to a jazz club before and I dont really listen to jazz music too much but it wasnt what I expected. I was looking forward to some chill music but it was really loud and not so chill. There was a lady in the bathroom who said to me "do you understand this? I see people bobbing their heads but theres no beat. It just sounds like noise to me". Part of me concurs.

Hookah Bar:
Hookahs arent really related to music but at the hookah bar we went to there was a lot of music playing. Specifically there was Indian music playing. Its a new sound, but I am starting to enjoy the sound of Indian music.



New York City was the best time I have ever had in my entire life. I am not even exaggerating. I am so grateful for the opportunity to go. Thank you.
