This is the last night of our annual Vermont vacation. For the entire time we’ve been here, Vermont has been taunting us. The sun comes out for a while, and then it rains, and before you know it, the sun is back out. I was driving up the mountain on Route 100A up by Calvin Coolidge’s house, in the drenching rain. Once I passed Cal’s house, the rain stopped, and, 30 seconds later, when I got to the center of Plymouth, I noticed that the road was bone dry; it hadn’t rained there at all.
But today (as if Vermont was rubbing it in) was a perfect day, all day long. It put me in mind of this performance, which I first saw years ago, and may even have posted many years ago. Personally, I think Lou Reed and Pavarotti, together at last, is an interesting combination, and I really enjoy this performance. The reviews on you tube are all over the map. Anyway, it’s a great song.
