We went into Three Girls Bakery, which has been there for a long time, apparently. I got the last last last last bowl of chili out of the chili pot. I don't know if that was a good idea.
I got the chili because they were out of french bread, so the french dip sandwich I wanted was kind of off. It's hard to have a French dip on regular bread.
As I ate the chili, I couldn't help enjoying the music that was on. Kind of hard rock, kind of punk, kind of something I felt like I should have heard by now. Not having Spotify, I was forced to talk directly to the people working there, and found out it was Thin Lizzy's final album, "Thunder and Lightning," from about 1983. It reminded me a lot of AC/DC, Van Halen, and the like. Arena-sized guitar rock.
My familiarity with Thin Lizzy up until then was their early stuff on Jailbreak, which I used for a scene in my novel, and with some of their hits, like "The Boys Are Back In Town," which makes me think of a cross between The Cars and Elvis Costello.
Anyway, the end result of all this is me exploring this band that's gone through some significant evolutions, with different band members cycling in and out, and moving from one sound to another, which is good for me to think about as I write the stories about my fictional band.
