Of course I am wildly excited about attending the Incubus concert this Friday night and doubly excited at the opportunity to "meet and greet" the band as well. Ever since my son gave me a cd to listen too, I have really enjoyed the band's music and have become an Incubus geek! I love the play on words of the lyrics and the diversity of style in their music. I can rock it up listening to "Science" or get all mushy listening to "Friends and Lovers" from their newest cd "If not Now When". They make me feel young, and they're not bad on the eyes either, lol! Quirky quotes from Incubus song lyrics.......
“Over and over we ask
ourselves why don’t we utilize things that are stored deep inside our brains.”
“Yesterday was all my
fault I let negativity get the better of me.”
“I think I grew a
grey watching you procrastinate.”
“I grow up; my open
eyes see a zombified, somnambulist society, leaving us as vitamins for the
hibernating human animal.”
“I am one big
fleeting errant contradiction.”
“I suggest we learn
to love ourselves before it’s made illegal.”
“I think for sure
next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head.”
“I feel like a
matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth and I am the bull.”
“You should make
amends with yourself if only for better health.”
“I’d sooner sleep by
an open fire and wake up fried.”
“Perspective pries
your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings.”
“Nice to know you,
goodbye!”
“I am bottled fizzy
water and you are shaking me up.”
“Temporaryism has
been the black plague and the Jesus of our age.”
“Forgive my
indecision…..I am only a man.”
“If I were your
appendages I’d hold open your eyes so you would see that all of us are heaven
sent.”
“Kill your doubt with
the coldest of weapons, confidence.”
“We’ve got about
fifteen minutes to go before this audience starts throwing tomatoes, yeah!”
“Before you swim
you’ve gotta be ok to sink.”
“You’re a mountain
that I’d like to climb, not to conquer, but to share in the view.”
“We say more by
saying nothing at all.”
"What are you running
from and may I interfere?”
“I’ve seen the
porcelain shell, your exoskeleton, and I feel like we’d walk well together.”
“I only go where I’m
wanted. You only go where you want. I aim to be more like you.”
“Well. I think I
thought I saw an Azwethinkweiz, lookin’ like we think we do.”
As we were walking down the avenue, just past the guy playing his harmonica on
the street corner, I noticed something familiar about these guys sitting at a sidewalk
café having lunch. My first thought was…that guy has really long dredlocks,
like the DJ from Incubus. Continuing the thought, I figured if it was the
Incubus guy (DJ Chris Kilmore), Ben Kenney the bass player couldn’t be far
away, and low and behold-who was sitting on the other side of the table…a guy
wearing a baseball cap like Ben often does, it was Ben! My mouth dropped open
and I had a look of shock on my face. Then I crazily walked right up to them
(don’t ask me how I had the nerve) and boldly pronounced that I was really
looking forward to seeing them tonight in concert. They were taken aback
because they said that nobody really recognized them there. I blurted out that
a true fan, me, would and that I would recognize that profile with the dreds
nearly anywhere and got chuckles from DJ Kilmore.
