Once my A’s are out of it, I root for the team playing against the Giants, followed by the team with the lowest payroll. To that end, I’m quite happy that Cleveland has made the World Series. They had the lowest team salary of any of the playoff teams. In the National League, I, of course, want the Cubs to beat the Dodgers since their payroll is about $100 million less.

I saw The Who a couple times before, once in the 1990s and once in 2000 (at one of John Entwistle’s last shows), and it was fun to see them again at Desert Trip after a 16-year break. I cried a little bit during “The Kids Are Alright” but that’s only because I’m a new empty nester.

Desert Trip is over but not forgotten. Today a bootleg of the first weekend arrived in my inbox, and I’ve been enjoying Desert Trip again.
