Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1982
I can't quite pinpoint the exact moment
on which I first listened "Invisible Sun"
but one thing I do remember
is that I'll never forget
"The Mathematicians"
is how my friend Poncho Soto referred to them
accurate and metronomically perfect
always in that distinctive synchronicity
with a refined sarcasm that brought me up
"don't stand so close, Miss Gradenko"
or the infamous "Oh, Mother"
It's been 25 years
and now, for the very first time
I have tickets to see THEM
all 3 of them, together
this year, June, in Seattle
at Key Arena
(Ronda came with me).
