Aug. 10, 2022 - Austere August 10- Raw Gems of Hoggin Wisdom
#GEMsofWisdom I miss using a soap I really enjoy, but only 21 more days until I can go back to using soaps I really want to use. Firefighter continues to be meh scent-wise, but I have zero complaints about NO's base.
#RawHoggin 10 days in and I can say that while I am still not a convert to face lathering, I am finding joy in breaking in a boar brush by using it. This little guy is continuing to break in well and is quite the little monster- https://imgur.com/a/WyR8gGh
#Sidetracked As the oppressive heat and humidity finally comes to an end here in Northern New England, I'm reminded of the greatest concert I ever attended. Soundgarden, 1994, Fitchburg State University hockey arena in the dead of summer. 95 degrees outside, 110 inside. I had already seen Soundgarden on Lollapalooza two summers before in Miami, on a grossly hot MIami day and the day before Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc, and they killed it in a 20 minute set. I thought I knew what I was in for seeing them live again. What I was not prepared for was that the show in the intense heat of that hockey arena was that I was going to have a god damn religious experience. I can assure you that I was not hallucinating as Soundgarden put on one of the most incredible sets I've ever seen from a band live and Chris Cornell (RIP) was jaw dropping that day. I remember them opening with "Jesus Christ Pose" and Cornell walking out of the fog onstage arms stretched wide and just ripping from the opening note. 90 minutes later, it was all over after they played everything I wanted to hear including today's musical entry. I was drenched in sweat but knew that I had witnessed something special. I have loved Chris Cornell's voice from the moment I heard it in my college dorm to this day. I haven't loved all of his post-Soundgarden music. He was a special voice that I was fortunate to see live several times. So for u/Teufelskraft and the gang I leave with one of my favorite Soundgarden songs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxbNHObyn1E
Have a great day all!
