First, I regret to inform myself (sorry, self) and everyone else too that I won't be attending the historic, er, atavistic pairing tomorrow night at the Frank Erwin Center. I may never again have the chance to see Journey and Foreigner live on the same stage on the same night in the same dimension--or maybe I will, every Thursday from now on forever, as the bands mature into their Traveling Wilburys phase--but I'm feeling too anxious lately even to imagine myself there, among all the spandex and denim jackets and women's hair grown sportive and frank like English gardens, let alone to be there. Hearing "Urgent" under these circumstances can only crush me like a worm.
Second, on our walk this morning, Seorin and I startled some deer--a whole herd of them. (There were four.) One was a fawn. Another was unmoved and tried to stare us down. I've seen deer plenty of times, but never all together. I was starting to believe they were like leprechauns, who are also lonely hunters, I gather. We stood there, in the middle of the street, gawking, as the haughty one, at the side of the road, flaunted its grace with aristocratic ease, its comeliness, like that of a courtier, effortless. The incident lasted probably two minutes, but in mind- and heart-wealth it was worth at least a couple of Foreigner concerts.
Good morning, everybody, and take care of each other and the deer.
A spectacular night--deer, Tunois, and all!
ReplyDeleteDUDE! Johnny Nev and Al Martin, both alumni of my sister's stewed web of wonders - needed a designated driver so I got a ticket to Foreigner and Journey at the Shoreline. I love being the designated driver for those guys because Johnny Nev is into all of this Pick-up-Artist stuff and chalked full of felonious advice when he drinks. Surprisingly, the more he drinks the less he acts... you would think it would be the other way around. Al, on the otherhand, gets a bit boozed up, laughs at John, they laugh at me, I laugh at them, and then Al does a few drunken jibber blabbers to unsuspecting and often uncomfortable members of the opposite sex who are usually not as inebriated.
ReplyDeleteYou will get a chance to see both bands again, I'm sure of it.
The music that gets pirated, the more old bands have to tour if they want to make money.
PS- speaking of old bands - I heard Duff from G'n'R has an autobiography coming out.
PSS- I will size up the pillipino guy who is trying to croon for Journey and get back to you.
