When I was 29, I worked at Polygram records in Toronto. Mostly the mailroom - sending out Phantom of the Opera calendars. Everyone there was a music lover, so it wasnt long before they started asking my opinion on things. It was a cool environment. I stayed for three months. When Nirvana hit, the office went ballistic. Work loads increased and excitement filled the air. It was heavy. Suddenly, everything was called into question.The dialogue of a new generation was being called upon. Fashion changed. Politics changed. Music changed. Gone were the hair bands. People became engaged again. Many people my age didnt grok Nirvana. It was a cut off point. Many of us stopped looking forward, opting for the groove of what is now classic rock. But Kurt Cobain was a great songwriter and singer. Beatle-esque at times. Its a sad story - but an important one. Tonight CAL performs Nirvanas Nevermind at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando. Nicky has been soaking in this album and has honed the musicians into a tight, chip on the shoulder band. Our outro set - our second set - is going to be historic. There is a deep well to draw brilliance from. Let me know what you thought of the show. I think its time for CAL to move forward with Nirvana and take it on with a seriousness that we can only provide through hard work. hardrock/live/locations/orlando/
