Santana Tour Report #30

Tampa: thought: what is worse than any economic gap is the culture gap.

By morning the rain has stopped, the wind has died down, and the sun peaks from behind clouds. Today’s show is in the Tampa Sundome, a huge, cavernous, echoey building – but filled with a nice audience. we get a standing ovation at the end of our set. the duets with Santana sound great… afterwards we drive to Orlando and find a little pub near a strange Disneyland-like area that appears relatively new, but was built to look old… instahistory… pretty awful, actually… history is messy, one house is built on the ruins of another, not all neat like this… organic growth is never neat… and i mean neat in that clean, Mall-culture Disney sort of way… at least my guys had some good black and tan in the pub and Carl begged until the bartender gave him a free glas of milk for his cereal – ’cause Carl has to eat every couple of hours…
