The Summer of Rock

The Summer of Rock continues on.......... the following is the concert going itinerary I have been clocking over a two week period and who I have, or will have the privilege of going to these shows with. And, there is no end in sight!

Sat: Lucero (myself)
Tue: Chicago/Earth, Wind & Fire (Friends Rick & Donna, and Meredith {one of the nicest, intelligent and beautiful ladies I have met.})
Fri: Taproot (My friend Blake. Blake stoked me up to pay attention to this band. They are great. We are catching them at a club show, believing that they are going to blow up. Then, later on we can talk about seeing them when they weren't big. It's kind of like being able to say something like, "I saw The Cult on their Love Tour.")
Sat: Nascar Truck Race (although not a concert, there are alot of commonalities. Plus I am positive there will be some country band playing to the drunken many on this hot August afternoon/evening. My brother Doug and sister in law Jane)
Mon: Green Day (myself. Floor tickets sold out. Can't get into our company suite, I just have to buck up and buy myself a ticket.)
Thur: Scream IV Tour (Friend from work, Tedra. Great urban show with Bow Wow, Omarion, Marques Houston, Bobby Valentino and Pretty Ricky. An arena full of screaming teenage girls from all walks of life.)

Although this is all fun, my ears hurt. And, none of it can compare to the time I am looking forward to spending with my daughter Sophia after this weekend. And still to come after that is OzzFest featuring Black Sabbath, Velvet Revolver and Mudvayne. Also coming up somewhere in the mix is a really cool band called the Redwalls, and I almost forgot Motley Crue.

I am also looking forward to halloween when Nine Inch Nails plays our lovely Nashville town.

So, this is what responsible adults do. We go see all the rock bands that our parents and youth pastors had fits over during high school and college. God Bless America.
