"American Idiot" Broadway Soundtrack Rules, Is This A Resurgance of Good Music?

Hello,

My wife and I are going through a divorce right now. For the record I want to say I love my wife very much and always will. We both also love our 4 kids as well. This isn't a rip on my wife blog, this is the journey of an extremely painful divorce blog. My wife is an amazing woman and always will think that. For those of you who are wondering: yes, I still love her very much and always will. I also write about music every once-in-a-while :)

My lawyer said the divorce should be final "in a few days". Enough of that now I'm just moving forward. My parents, my brother and his family and all the kids plus me are going to Olive Garden to celebrate my oldest son's birthday. He's going to be 14 on Saturday. I will also be able to spend time with all my kids this weekend, after not being able to see them last weekend.

themusicaddict again gives a thumbs up to the amazing "American Idiot" Broadway soundtrack. Again I thought it would suck, but it's actually quite good and I can't stop listening to it. 22 songs of rockin' the nation music. (Although I do wonder why amazon.com doesn't list how long the CD is.) I'm actually quite surprised by how much good music has already come out this year. Lifehouse's "Smoke and Mirrors", Bullet For My Valentine's "Fever", Slash's CD, the "Almost Alice" soundtrack and Orianthi's debut CD. I know I've missed more than a few great CDs. Hopefully 2010 will be the year good music comes back. Last decade was probably the worst decade for music possibly ever. Good thing for Lady Gaga coming near the end of the decade and finally bringing some good music to last decade. Paramore kicked butt last decade as well.

I can't wait until Crystal Bowersox's CD. I might go to the "American Idol" concert just to see her. Rolling Stone had an article about last night's show saying Bowersox was pulling away from the boys. I thought to myself she's been doing that since Hollywood.

Books read lately Sarah Blake's "The Postmistress" was okay, I was hugely disappointed by it. I also started reading Mary Karr's "The Liar's Club", it's a memoir of the first several years of her life. I've read the first 40 pages and love the book. How much do I love it, I already put her two other memoirs on hold at the library.

Oh yeah for those of you who lead even more boring lives than me the new "Kate + 8" starts June 6th.
