Which brings me to my next question: What is a contemporary gold rush...
(google images, gold rush..seriously)
or
maybe it's taking risks to pursue something in your life which before seemed unimaginable.
Whatever the term gold rush means to you, there will be always be an after. With this comes the realization that the pursuit of anything in life which is meaningful and of substance will take time and commitment, patience and self discipline. Thom Yorke helps us to recognize this in his cover of Neil Young's "After the Goldrush" seg-waying into Everything in its Right Place at the 2012 Bilbao Music Festival in Spain. Thom Yorke killed it. Having suffered an alcohol induced antibiotic reaction the morning of the day Radiohead played, I was considerably worried as I sat slumped against the bathroom wall in the basement of a Spanish all-you-could-eat buffet, if my body would make it to see them play. Thankfully my reaction subsided enough for me to enjoy an amazing night of Thom Yorke prancing around on stage and creating saweet music.
2012 was the 40th anniversary of Neil Young's album Harvest. Meg and I were lucky enough to meet Neil on the international road through a couple special encounters, Bilbao was one of them.
I am now back in Ottawa, our nation's capital, currently occupied by Stephen Harper, and according to wikipedia, former home of Dan Aykroyd, Jeremy Gara (drummer of the Arcade Fire)...
...and this citizen, in need of many square pieces of foam.
