Too much music?

Sometimes I think it'd be easier if I didn't like music so much. Or more specifically, if I didn't like so much music. At the ACL fest it was almost overwhelming trying to map out each day. I had some friends that went, and they just didn't care. All they wanted to see was Wilco. And Ben Harper. That was it. What??? 80 bands are there, at least 30 of which are cool, and you only really want to see two of them? I don't get it. But life might be easier if I did. Easier, but less enjoyable.
I got to thinking about this because once again my concert calendar is filling up quick. Mindy Smith is playing here in town on Thursday night. On the 15th, Tim O Brien is playing in town, on the 17th Jon Dee Graham, from Austin, is playing my favorite venue here, on the 19th Joe Ely is playing 65 minutes away, and Billy Joe Shaver is playing on the 21st--2 hours away. I'm definitely going to Joe Ely and Billy Joe. Most likely going to Mindy Smith. And maybe going to the others. AND, as if that weren't enough, I'm also going to see Slaid Cleaves on October 30th, and thinking about taking a road trip to go see Billy Joe again on October 23rd. Mercy. I'm insane.
