Musically, the big thing going on for me is having turned my sad Ozzy return money into a happy three Judas Priest tickets. The math adds up, I promise, don’t look into it. Reflecting on past ticket purchases is daunting at the moment. In not so surprising news I’ve also been connecting deeply with Rush’s Grace Under Pressure.
