I concede

Tonight I was reminded how cool and talented Ben Folds is. Ben Folds was the opening artist for Weezer. I saw him earlier in the 90's at 328 Performance Hall during his rise to alternative fame, and it was a treat to be reminded tonight of his stellar talent. While the populas was touting Dave Matthews wonderful performance from last night (and I am sure it was just that; wonderful), I couldn't help to feel that I was with a slightly cooler and "in the know" club of people who knew the lesser know Ben Folds.

And, therein lies the rub..............I actually thought tonight that I might be able to meet a girl at the Weezer show. Yeah, I mean, the band came out in the early 90's and there was sure to be alot of girls my age. Well, that just wasn't the case. Quickly I realized that I was probably in the oldest 1% of the audience, and there was not 1 girl I saw, except the women working the funnel cake booth, that were even remotely close to my age. This is where I concede. I realize that I am closer to chapperoning my daughter in a few years to rock concerts with her friends, than I am to actually "hooking up" with hot chicks at the show. Is this depressing? Hmmmm. Not really. Not when I think about the reality of things. Life is good. I am very happy to realize that I enjoy great art that is embraced by several generations. I just think it is an adjustment to realize that I am on the older side of the age curve. Here's what is weird though: Without feeling out of place or looking like a geek, I could actually wear a Guess watch, Munsingwear (Penguin) Shoes, Gap camoflauge cargo shorts and a Polo t-shirt and be one of the better dressed people there. I love life. Enjoy.
