Bruce Hornsby Continues on the Trail
Tumblr media
Bruce Hornsby performs at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, 10/17/23
BY JORDAN MAINZER
At one point last Tuesday in Milwaukee, in response to one of many moments in the night fans shouted their requests at him, Bruce Hornsby joked, "I love the battle between disparate elements of my audience." Funny enough, I can't think of a statement that better defines the virtuosic pianist and singer-songwriter. That is, what's amazing about Hornsby is not just that he's traversed the worlds of rock, jazz, bluegrass, but that he has diehard fans of each of his endeavors. Go to a Hornsby show--even a solo one like at the Pabst Theater, sans defunct backers The Range or current band The Noisemakers--and you're bound to find both classical music appreciators and Deadheads alike.
In that sense, 1998's Spirit Trail, a storied and purposeful left-turn into modern rock after the jazz-focused Harbor Lights and Hot House, exemplifies Hornsby's multi-pronged approach. On Friday, Hornsby will release a 25th anniversary reissue of the record via Zappo Productions and Thirty Tigers. It contains a remastered version of the record, four "lost" songs from an unfinished record that was meant to be Spirit Trail's follow-up (shelved in favor of the almost piano-less Big Swing Face), and previously unreleased live performances of many of the album's songs. In Milwaukee, venue employees were handing out early CD copies of the reissue, the night a celebration of both Spirit Trail and Hornsby's discography as a whole.
Per usual, audience members requested songs both by shouting them out and via written submission, dropped off on stage prior to the show. As expected, they were all over the place, from Spirit Trail and even Lost Trail tunes to songs he simply refused to play because they were too boring or didn't age well, like "Dreamland" and "The Old Playground". Ever cheeky, at one point, Hornsby asked for requests and responded to the various audible shouts, "I haven't heard what I'm looking for yet." It was clear he wanted to give preference to Spirit Trail. He led off the night with "Preacher in the Ring Pt. I", his jaunty piano playing covering the song's ground in totality. You didn't even miss Sonny Emory's clacking drums from Live Trail, nor the dulcimer from both the studio and live versions of "Shadow Hand". Hornsby's finger exercises were simply a masterclass. He wrote standout track "Sneaking Up on Boo Radley" by learning to play over a left-hand ostinato, appropriating György Ligeti's "Etude 13: The Devil's Staircase", and nailed it live. It was a perfect Spirit Trail song to play without a band. His voice, too, was on point, wailing on the Black Crowes-inspired Lost Trail tune "Living in the Sunshine", doing justice to the studio version that indeed sounds like it could be sandwiched between the Southern rockers' "Remedy" and "Thorn in My Pride".
Yes, Hornsby's reach and influence goes beyond Spirit Trail. "The Show Goes On" has been featured in everything from Ron Howard's Backdraft to The Bear. During the set last Tuesday, he segued "Sidelines"--a duet from 2022's terrific 'Flicted with Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig--into his most famous song of all, "The Way It Is", during which he invited set opener/Bon Iver drummer S. Carey out to harmonize. That over the past decade Hornsby has fostered fruitful collaborations with the likes of Justin Vernon and Blake Mills is more evidence that he's as shaped by his contemporaries as his organic musical interests. So put yourself in his shoes in the mid-1990s, and you can hear his response to the sociopolitical and musical landscape of the past decade in many of the songs on Spirit Trail. He's asking himself tough questions about his own Southern heritage, challenging institutional racism on songs like "See the Same Way". The strummed mandolin of "Preacher in the Ring Pt. II" recalls Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road", "Resting Place" and "Pete & Manny" the radio-friendly heartland rock of Mellencamp and Petty. Yet, Hornsby's also dipping his toes in the worlds of electronica and hip hop, songs like the shuffling "Line in the Dust" written on a synth bed and with a drum machine beat like much of the second disc of Spirit Trail. And of course, the goofily titled "Sunflower Cat (Some Dour Cat) (Down With That)" is built around a sample of Jerry Garcia's riff on "China Cat Sunflower", as Hornsby was trying to explain the appeal of the Grateful Dead to producer Mike Mangini, a hip hop head. Mangini was so taken aback by the former band member's performance that he wrote a groove around the riff.
On fan favorite piano ballad and Spirit Trail highlight "Fortunate Son", Hornsby sings, "I've stared down the devil and had to look away." The song is ostensibly written from the point of view of a wheelchair-bound military veteran, lucky to be alive but maligning society's penchant to ascribe sacrificial glory to a life of physical limitations. I've always heard it, though, as the general antithesis to tough guy nihilism, whether action heroes or strong and silent singer-songwriters. Hornsby is the ultimate reflector, yet not quite ready to face mortality like many of the characters in his songs. After last Tuesday and 25 years of Spirit Trail, it certainly does seem like he's only just getting started.

Top 5 Reads for December
Tumblr media
December reading round up - I was absolutely certain I had read less than I did last month, but when going thru my @goodreads list I noticed that was definitely NOT the case. I only had 1 ARC for December, and that came late in the month. It "freed" me up to read more for myself. I read A LOT of dark romance or romantic suspense. I also read a lot of quick and dirty novellas between novels to kind of "cleanse" my mind between novels.
December stats:
22 books total
- 4 audios
- 1 ARC
- 9 novels
- 8 novellas
Thankfully, picking my top reads for the month wasn't too difficult. I only have 6 five star reads in December, and two of those books belong to a duet.
Scroll ⬇️⬇️⬇️ to see my top picks for December (as always they are listed in the order they were read)
Tumblr media
The Virgin Gift by Lauren Blakely - I listened to this as soon as it came out, and man was it HOT HOT HOT. Sometimes I'm not a fan of books where the heroine is a virgin, but I like how Lauren presented it in the story. Once Nina, the heroine, explained her reasoning it made a lot of sense and to me made her a much stronger character. Don't even get me started on the dirty talk from Adam, the hero. GOOD LORD!
Tumblr media
Midnight with the Devil by Emma Castle - I had no idea what to expect with book. Emma Chase is a "new to me" author and I got the book when I saw it was posted for free. The blurb was definitely intriguing. It kind of reminded me of the tv show Lucifier, and I was 100% ok with that. Tom Ellis is HOT AF, so I had no problem kind of picturing him as Lucifer. It wasn't as "dark" as I thought it might be, but ultimately I loved loved loved how the story turned out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Devils Playground Duet by Ashley Jade - HOLY HELL, this duet. #TeamDamien FOR LIFE! This book was hot, twisty, kinda suspenseful and fucking AMAZING. I was kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to read it after it sat on my TBR taunting me. I devoured both books in two days!
Tumblr media
Marriage for One by Ella Maise - When I posted a cliche meme about grumpy heroes, someone commented that Jack, the hero from Marriage for One was their favorite grumpy hero. I had put off reading it because honestly I have to be in the mood for a slow burn and a lot of angst, but when I was "pressured" by the wonderful Ella, I totally caved. I started listening to the audio on my commute to and from work, but eventually downloaded the book onto my Kindle and finished reading it. One I started, I couldn't put it down.
Tumblr media
Chandelier by Annie Dyer - This was my lone ARC of the month and defintely a 5 star read for me. I love everything Annie writes, but this was different than her usual contemporary romance (The Severton Series, Callaghan Green Series). I started and finished reading in one day. I couldn't put it down. I don't want to give too much away (I still have to do my review) but it is part of a series, and ends with a cliffy. When it comes out in January, I highly highly recommend you pick it up and then pre-order Grenade and Emeralds immediately.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Devil & The Devil’s Advocate (The Devil’s Playground Duet) by Ashley Jade
I cannot do this book justice. Have you ever been on the messy side of TikTok when the drama has just unfolded and you’re getting the play by play from the main characters involved and the mess is top tier and just keeps coming. I am here for it and that’s what this duet gave. 🧑‍🍳💋 And don’t even get me started on the spice. I can’t give the story away. You just have to read it.
Overall: ⭐️ 4.5/5 🌶 4.5/5

wayv’s relation to lian
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KUN + LIAN: LUN
they have the cutest little interactions ever :(
was one of the members that kun was most comfortable around at first
she made him feel so welcomed!
when nct 2018 appeared on weekly idol, lian was placed in the front
but she moved her chair over to kun’s side to be closer to him !!!!!!!
lun stans found dead
they go out to eat food together a lot :D
now that lian doesn’t feel the need to look over him anymore, he stepped in and is now a very good parental figure for her
he bought her an expensive ass ring for her birthday
him and johnny both being her dad: 🤝
kun has been arguing back and forth with chenle about lian’s chinese name
he loves the name xiuying for her :(
they hype each other up all the time !!
lian and kun had the best time with each other when filming from home
we got so many adorable clips of them :DDDD
when talking to each other they can’t pick a solid language
like they’re always switching between mandarin and korean
they also slip in a bit of english at times as well
Tumblr media
TEN + LIAN: LITEN
if kun is her dad then ten is her cool uncle
he lets her do whatever she wants
like he will just sit and watch as she teases the fUCK out of hyuck
HES TEACHING HER THAI
just like kun they switch between multiple languages in a conversation
they normally speak english with each other!
their fashion game is always on point.
no actually they literally wore matching shirts one time
liten supremacy breaking the internet: <3
ten once said “guys she’s like my daughter stop being weird~~~!” on vlive when people kept asking if him and lian were dating
as he should !
they mention each other ¿ everywhere ?
THEY DANCE TOGETHER ALL THE TIME
ten even helped her choreograph the new ver. of yoncé
don’t touch me i’m soft
no because ten ships her with someone in the group … just not who you’d think ;)
i swear he’s her #1 hypeman
ten was actually the one who made their ship name- goals asf sry i don’t make the rules
Tumblr media
WINWIN + LIAN: LIWIN
lian is yet another member of nct who will sacrifice her soul to the devil for winwin
“winwin winwin winwin winwin is on the mind forever and always i love you winwin” was what she posted for his birthday
AND THE FEELING IS MUTUAL
winwin loves her just as much and he shows it
he likes hugging her DDDDD:
also ten ships them
so that’s that uh :p
lian cried so hard when he had to pause promotions with 127 :(
especially because they were super close!
winwin was actually another one of her first friends in nct because she was fluent in mandarin
and they were both super comfortable speaking with each other :)
winwin: i like lian the most :D
yuta + taeil: am i a joke to you?
no cause yuta is constantly losing in this thing
lian picks winwin and winwin picks lian what is happening
winwin’s current lockscreen is a picture of lian rolling her eyes at yangyang
yup yup their lockscreen tradition LISTEN AND WEEP
winwin’s selfies are lian’s favourite thing :)
Tumblr media
LUCAS + LIAN: LULIAN
omfg the chaos these two bring
i’m crying because nct 2018 was chaotic in itself but lulian was something else
THEY WERE ALWAYS SCREAMING ????
taeyong was going through an existential crisis the entirety of 2018
AND BYE LUCAS WILL NOT STOP COMPARING THEIR HAND SIZES
leave it in 2018 sweetheart we been knew lian is the size of a jellybean
he had her react to his drama where he dances to replay after killing his girlfriend
lian confirmed it was 10/10 and would recommend watching
she genuinely thinks lucas should have been added to nct dream and she stands by that opinion daily
the MOMENTS we got during nct world 2.0 were chefs kiss
they were both so chaotic while mark was frying eggs
“MARK WHAT ARE YOU DOING (⊹つ•۝•⊹)つ”
the oldest + youngest in the 99’ line remain iconic
lian hates him but loves him at the same time
because he’s nice to her but he SPENDS TOO MUCH OF HIS TIME MAKING FUN OF HER HEIGHT
“lian you’re like literally two feet tall i could fit you in my pocket”
“i will drop kick you in 2.5 seconds if you don’t shut the fuck up wong yukhei”
lucas once said that their favourite thing to do together was play at playgrounds
Tumblr media
XIAOJUN + LIAN: XIAN
what you’ve all been waiting for
xiaojun went so long thinking that lian was chinese (∩╹□╹∩)
like she speaks mandarin perfectly, has a chinese stage name
IT WAS A REASONABLE MISTAKE LET HIM LIVE
when they met the first thing he said to her was how pretty she was
“y-you’re so pretty uhh”
*cue distressed xiaojun*
he followed lian on instagram before nct 2020 was even confirmed
dedication
he didn’t know jaehyun or yuta liked her and accidentally patted her head in front of them and called her cute
AND THAT WAS RHE DAY BEFORE THE WHOLE “xiaojun is terrified of yuta” THING HAPPENED
PLEASEHANDHJEJSB
they’d like to do a duet someday :)
he couldn’t get her lyrics from kick it out of his head when he first listened to the song
sometimes still quotes them around her to make her laugh
lian hyped his drama up SO MUCH !1!1!1!€]£<]~\£>€{
“dejunnie is having an acting debut soon !! please go support him and his cast~”
xiaojun brags about that a lot ... and her nickname for him :)
Tumblr media
HENDERY + LIAN: LIANDERY
the teasing
THE MF TEASINF THEYRE SO ANNOYING
besties ™
they would occasionally message each other before and they considered themselves to be pretty close but when nct 2020 happened they were chaos
especially when they ended up in the work it unit together
everyone was so sick of them like they would not shut up about random ass things
hendery and lian are like another version of haechan and lian
but minus the lovey stuff they sometimes do
with liandery it’s constant teasing and making fun of each other 24/7
and it’s all fun and games so they can go DOWN if they’d like to
lian roasted him so hard once bye
they were supposed to be a pair on “it’s awkward but it’s ok”
but they developed such a good friendship within like two weeks that they had to switch up the members
hendery is kinda soft for her though ngl
he’ll just randomly poke her dimples
BUT HE WONT LIE AND SAY HE WASNT INTIMIDATED BY HER AT FIRST
it was just the way she presented herself at that time because she was a little frustrated, but it wasn’t anything that wouldn’t change later on
hendery thought she was older than him by like three years rip
Tumblr media
YANGYANG + LIAN: YANGLIAN
when lian met yangyang she gained another child
but yangyang’s not a baby anymore (҂⌣̀_⌣́)
yet he’ll 100% act cute so that she does stuff for him
she’s not complaining though anything for her son
they’re like yangyang and ten all over again
once had a whole ass conversation through memes
it started with spongebob ended with shrek
lian now knows how to introduce herself in german thank you yangyang
not lian teaching yangyang toronto slang :’)
yangayng for some reason gave her big haechan energy when they first met
because the first thing he did was mock her height
he literally bent down and said “can you see me better”
lian: hello i saw you perfectly fine before my neck isn’t broken sir
but it was okay because now they have a really playful relationship with each other :D
have teamed up on numerous occasions to make kun’s life harder
“i thought the chaos stopped with yangyang, lian when did you become such a problem child?”
but lian gets special treatment because well .. she’s lian what do you think
yangyang calls her lili :)

If I Could Turn Back Time
(For Suptober20. Day 12 Prompt: Rewind. Word Count: 1510.)
It started as a Cher joke then... BAM! Angst. Look, 15x15 has got me worried, okay? Let’s feel our feels down below or on this link to the Ao3 version.
“If you could take it all back-- like, if you could rewind time or whatever-- would you?”
“Dude.” Dean took his eyes off the road for a dangerously long time. He stared at Sam, his eyes wide and shining in the headlights of a passing truck. “What the hell?”
Sam pointed out the windshield to the road to remind Dean that he was, in fact, driving the Impala down a long, dark, rainy highway. Once Sam was sure they weren’t going to end up wrapped around a tree, he said, “Just thinking.”
The next few miles passed with no other sound than the Impala’s turning wheels and the soft patter of raindrops on the windows. Sam inwardly groaned. He shouldn’t have asked. His social filter tended to turn off when he was tired.
Something about the final fight looming-- the fight against God, for crying out loud-- had Sam spending a lot of sleepless nights thinking about how in the fuck his life ended up this weird. Was it when his mom died? The first or second time? Was it when he lost Jessica? Or Dad? Or when Dean went to Hell? Was it when Sam died and went to Hell? Was it the gradual integration of Castiel, Angel of the Lord, into the Winchester family as Sam’s brother and Dean’s… well, Dean’s something? How about when Sam decided to adopt the Devil’s son?
Yeah, Sam didn’t know either. He figured, if he had to rewind to a particular moment in time to stop all the absurdity, he’d pick when his mother burned on the ceiling. So, really, his life had been weird ever since he was a baby.
“Okay, but, what would you do if you could turn back time?” Dean asked. He paused, then added, in a melodic tone, “If you could find a way?
“Dude.”
“Would you take back those words that’ve hurt you, and you’d stay?”
“Cher? Really?
“Hey, you recognized it.”
Sam rolled his eyes and took a deep breath, fighting the urge to make a sarcastic comment. No way was he going to enable Dean. Sam was not about to let Dean break into I Got You Babe. If anyone was to sing that duet with Dean, it’d be Cas.
“Fine. Point made,” Sam said. “It was a stupid question.”
“No, not stupid,” Dean said, “but you go down that ‘what if’ spiral, you’re gonna have a hard time finding your way out.”
“Yeah.” Sam rested his head against the passenger's side window and closed his eyes. Maybe he just needed some rest. The Impala’s soothing rumble always lulled him to sleep. She was his constant, his safe place, his home since he was a boy. “Yeah, you’re right.”
Right as Sam drifted into dreams, he heard Dean answer in a distant whisper, like he hadn’t meant to speak out loud.
“No. No, I don’t think I would because-- because then I’d never meet…”
The phone rang. Castiel, sitting in his car trying to summon the will to walk into that playground and deal with what little was left of Heaven-- again-- felt grateful for the excuse to delay the inevitable. He reached into his pocket, glanced at the name on the display, and accepted the call.
“Hello, Dean.”
“Hey, Cas. This, uh, this isn’t a bad time is it?”
“Not at all. What is it you need?”
“Oh. Uh. Nothing, really. Just checking in.”
“Checking in?”
“Yeah. Yeah. I do that.” Dean’s voice sounded usually high. A result of a bad connection, most likely. “Don’t I?”
“I’m…” Castiel watched as a mother pushed a stroller across the street and tried to think of something to say. He was not one for small talk. “Fine.”
“Good. Good. That’s, uh, good.”
They lapsed into silence. The crackle of the open phone line and the sound of Dean’s breathing was all that indicated that Dean was still on the line.
Castiel presumed that, maybe, this was the point he was supposed to speak or add something to the conversation, but there was nothing to say. Castiel felt no need to add idle noise. That was one of the many things Castiel still had not figured out about humans: why they always needed to fill the quiet moments with pointless words. Sam told him it was a way of being friendly, so Castiel tried. He could not help but think that allowing a peaceful moment of reflection was kind as well. If anyone needed a peaceful moment, it was Dean.
“Cas? You still there, buddy?”
“Of course.”
“Okay, good, uh--” Dean sighed. He sounded exhausted. Castiel was about to ask after his health when Dean asked, in a rush, “If you could rewind time, like, stop all this crazy world-ending shit, would you?”
Castiel narrowed his eyes. He wished he could see Dean, see if there was tension in his shoulders or hesitation in his eyes. As it was, all Castiel had was the question and the empty street before him.
“You of all people should know the dangers of time travel,” Castiel said.
“Oh, yeah, I know.” Castiel imagined Dean waving a dismissive hand as he spoke. “Don’t worry. This is all hypothetical.”
“This hypothetical sounds rather specific.”
“It’s just something Sam said the other day. I guess he got in my head or something.” Dean laughed. It was not convincing. “C’mon, think about it. Humour me, dude.”
So Castiel did. He could no longer travel through time, therefore it truly was just hypothetical.
His instinctive response was no. No, not at all. Every time the angels meddled with the past, they managed to, as Dean would say, fuck shit up. The evidence spoke for itself: Anna, Mary Winchester, Lily Sunder.
However, something stopped him from declaring it right away. If Castiel could go back in time-- if he could find the moment God chose to nudge the world to its end over and over again just to make the Winchesters act out a story for His enjoyment-- would he?
It would save the Winchester a lot of pain. Perhaps Sam would have the chance to finish his degree, never to be called back onto the road by Dean. Perhaps Dean would have grown up in a happy home instead of backroads and motels. Perhaps Sam would never have died, Dean would never have sold his soul, and Castiel would never have to rescue Dean from Hell.
Would Jack be born in this situation? Castiel shuddered to think that he would not. Jack was too good, too precious, too necessary to the world for Castiel to consider otherwise.
But, if this situation occurred, Castiel would never have met Sam.
Castiel would never have met Dean.
In that other world, the one where the Apocalypse succeeded, Castiel had a glimpse of who-- what-- he would be without the Winchesters. That other Castiel’s rebellious spirit had been broken and beaten, his mind reprogrammed over and over again until his eye lost colour and his head involuntary twitched. He was ruthless, merciless, moulded into the perfect weapon by the angels. That Castiel never found the means to escape Heaven. That Castiel never met Dean.
Would Castiel become that, to spare the Winchester’s pain?
He would. He knew that he would. He would give anything to help the ones he loved.
He had proven that. The Empty always lurked behind him, its darkness nipping at his heels, waiting, waiting, for its moment.
“I don’t know.” Castiel licked his lips and tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips. “But I do know I would regret having never met you.”
“Yeah.” Dean let go of a breath. It sounded like relief. “Yeah, same here.”
“I think it best we focus on the present.”
Because the present was all Castiel had.
Dean ended the call. He set his phone on the bedside table and lay back on his bed, watching the shadows dance across the ceiling of his room.
Yeah. Best to focus on the present. Best to focus on something other than the what-if scenarios running through his head. Best to focus on something  other  than the guilt he felt when he realized, even in a hypothetical situation, he wouldn’t rewind time to save his blood family if it meant never meeting Cas.
He loved his mom. Her loss was still raw in his heart. He loved his dad, as complicated as it was. He’d already made his peace with that. He loved Sam. He would do anything for his brother.
He loved Cas.
He did.
And it was a deep love, just as strong as the kind he had for his family, but it was also different.
Romantic.
And he couldn’t bear the thought of not knowing that, even in a hypothetical world.
Wow.
That was a revelation.
Maybe one day Dean would finally find the courage to tell Cas that he had a place in Dean’s heart, body, and soul.
And that Dean could never lose Cas, in this world or the next. Not even in a hypothetical situation.
Never.

#NewRelease ➙ Title: The Devil's Advocate: Devil's Playground Duet #2 Author: Ashley Jade Genre: Sexy psychological This is the final book in the two-book duet. Book one must be read first. One man thinks I'm a saint. The other thinks I'm a sinner. One man lives in the public eye. The other lurks in the shadows. One man wants to use me for his own needs. The other wants to use me for his revenge. One man will get what's coming to him. The other will get what he deserves. They told me good girls get rewarded. But I've been bad. Very bad. I made a deal with The Devil...and I liked it. #TheDevilsAdvocate #TheDevilsPlayground #PsychologicalRomance #AshleyJade
