luckiest fan in the world
Even in starting their set late and finishing it early, The Strokes really delivered. Who could complain in the face of the last remaining rock stars? Whenever you hear these guys, you end up wishing just an iota of their cool will rub off on you. Maybe Julian could sense that from the audience, because during the last bit of ‘Take It or Leave It,’ he lobbed his signature Barton Perreira sunglasses into the howling crowd. A melee ensued right where I was standing. My head spun as I fell back onto the ground as a result of commotion, and I was just coming back to when a hand reached out to pull me up, and then offered me the sunglasses.
I don’t know who this person was, but he just might be the kindest human on earth. When you spend 7 hours in a mosh, you begin to lose faith in human decency, but this guy with the sunglasses restored all that faith again. This was already the best show of my life, but the fact that I walked away with Julian Casablancas’ sunglasses makes the experience unreal, otherworldly, even. I can’t believe it all happened. I can’t believe I saw them. And now, whenever I need to feel like a total badass, I can slip on my Barton Perreira’s and look at the world through the Ize of Julian, because, hell, you only live once.
“holy crap… you guys, you guys are the best!… I’m not gonna lie, I don’t say that, that’s not my schtick… I make up and mumble shit no one understands, that’s my schtick… but you guys… you guys are the best crowd we played to… I dunno, so far. God bless you…. shall we continue, Fabrizio?”
