last concert I saw was probably 1993-4 Grateful Dead. Or maybe the B-52's or Buffett.

I haven't been to a concert since I got divorced lo these many blue moons ago.

sigh. I can't even get up any enthusiasm to go see some band, either.

Only the Stones could get me to come out of my hovel.

When they played up at the college amphitheater in Missoula a few years back, half the slope of Mount Sentinel (actual small mountain right behind the college, has a big white M on the side) was covered in college students and semi-reformed hippies with flasks and binoculars. Sound carries REALLY well at this elevation! I didn't go because I'm just not a huge Stones fan, but it made the news.

the latter. We stood in Gen Admin right behind the control boards. he came waltzing in with a 50? yr old woman with nearly as much plastic surgery as him. They let him inside the little fenced in area there. Liz eventually got the nerve up to pester him during a lul. He was nice enough. Said he liked my red beard.

When I saw the announcement that the Grateful Dead were doing one last set of concerts in Soldier Field this summer, I got all nostalgic and thought about how cool it would be to be there. The end of an era! 50 years.

Then I thought about the logistics of getting there, and squeezing it into an overbooked summer. And I remembered how bad they sounded the last time they came through town. So I forgot about it.

Now I see that tickets went on sale over the weekend and sold out in just a couple minutes. Breaking some Ticketmaster record. And scalpers are selling for up to $15K per ticket.

Remember how this 4th of July show was it? The end?

Ha!

For my birthday, Twil took us to see Leonard Cohen. It was really amazing. All I can say is Hallelujah!

RIP, Mr. Cohen. He died age 82 like yesterday...what a loss to the American arts community.
