My July post for Steyer Associates plays on the David Bowie song — so if I’m going to risk an DMCA takedown, I might as well double-up and use the same headlines.

I haven’t committed to any live music in August by putting money down. I expect to check out the KEXP-sponsored music at the Mural Amphitheatre. Nothing in the other #Seattle outdoor venues appeals to me as being worth slathering on mosquito repellent.
