February 29 - Song for Roger Maris

Yes, this day doesn't exist this year, but this song does. Well, kind of. This is an unreleased song that exists largely in bootlegs. The particular version I heard was a 1999 bootleg from CBGBs, which displays probably more passion than skill. I've also linked a 2024 version.

There's something special about a song that only exists live. It's a small covenant between you and the people in the room, and each time you hear it, it's different. In this case this starts off as the scream of a young man for the chaos he's going through and ends as the almost nostalgic roar of an old man for the trouble he want through and... kind of misses.

Anyway, it's all in the past. Like February. See you in March.
