...This summer however, the live music scene has been seriously looking up. Not only have the bills been improved, but even the locations are noticeably more desirable than the grimy tailgates of my youth. Beside the standby parks and fairgrounds, this city’s bridges, rooftops, even its pools have been transformed to host a slew of performers from the up-and-coming (Rodrigo y Gabriella at the Central Park SummerStage) to the timeless standard (Sonic Youth in Brooklyn’s McCarran Pool). And, most recently, an obscure local punk band performed in my own garage...
Father, I attend Mass for reasons familiar to any good Roman Catholic: habit and guilt. Never did a Sunday go by in my youth without an hour slouched on a wooden pew. You see, my father was once one of you. Like many Irish-American boys of his generation, he joined the seminary as a teen and wore the collar until his mid-30s.

But American kids wouldn’t dream of pursuing serious political objectives through violence. After all, I thought, while the Montoneros were out blowing up buildings and laying the groundwork for Latin America’s bloodiest military dictatorship...
...what if I’m literally the youngest person living in my entire house this summer? It was Aristotle who said, “Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because youth is sweet and they are growing.” Either he was talking about a different kind of intoxication than I’m visualizing, or he was never a 20-year-old proctor in the 25 and older house. Malcom A. Glenn ’09, a Crimson associate sports chair and summer managing editor, is a history concentrator in Leverett House...
