Morning Open Thread: The Art of Noise

I went to see them live once, at the old Ritz on E. 11th St. in Manhattan, when they were touring with Duane Eddy. What a show! 

This’ll wake you up:

Ten years ago today, November 3, 2015. Autumn scene near Trout Lake, Washington. Rain clouds hug the mountains, signaling that a storm might be on the way.
