Dec 8 09 In Byron Bay Today

Same As It Ever Was, In Byron Bay Today. ‘Same as it ever was, same as it ever was’. This time of year can do that. The amount of windy days in a row tends to jiggle loose the old musical memory files. For me it’s either Tom Waits singing something from ‘Franks Wild Years’ or various Talking Heads songs. I suspect it all fits in to a spring I spent here in Byron Bay many, many moons ago when Byron was just a tiny sleepy little undeveloped town. I was listening to a lot of both those acts at the time and that particular year the wind was radical for about four months straight. Funny how the mind seems to stitch things together then brings them back up years later when triggered. These days, whenever the wind gets up, there’s David Byrne & Tom Waits battling for supremacy of the obsessive background music grey cells in my melon. So, after that completely meaningless insight into my weird little world, I guess I’d better tell you how it was in Byron Bay today. Windy is the first last and middle word that springs to mind, and it looks like tomorrow may be the same. But we live in hope; there were a few little waves, and a few windswept souls out there making the best of it regardless, as did we also. To those folks who made the effort to ride a few windswept lumpy bumps we salute you. There’s something honourable about just making the best of it no matter what, In Byron Bay Today.
