  1. Oh yeah, I forgot about the joy of standing there in an uncomfortable position, straining to see between the heads of those ever so courteous fans in front of me........Been there, done that!

    The good and the bad, you have to take both. Also really depends of where you sit also. It's all apart of that concert experience.

  2. WOOHOO! After waiting 14 hours in line, I finally scored 3 tix for $150 each in section 204. A graduation present for my godson. We're heading into Staples Center now after having a nice steak dinner.

    This just might be my last Stones show. #21 over the last 41 years.

    That's the excuse to justify your wanting to see them at least ;)

  3. I was never an extreme huge Doors fan, but I always appreciated what they did for music...I haven't listened to them in awhile, but today I shall rock them in honor of Ray, Jim and the rest of the guys...


    RIP Ray Manzarek

  4. I can't tell if he is alive or dead, TMZ (Not really a trusworthy site) and Washington post both have death articles for him. I'm not believing anything for sure though until fellow band mates and family members confirm it though.

  5. Quite a stunner to read about Angelina Jolie's decision to have a preemptive double-mastectomy. I would think there is many differing points of view and emotions among the women here. I know several women who have gone through breast cancer and mainly their reaction has been positive and supportive.

    For those who haven't seen it yet, here is Jolie's original op-ed piece in yesterday's New York Times:

    Here is a reaction piece from this morning's NPR:

    Glad she chose her health and being around for her husband and kids over being a sex symbol for men (and some women) to gawk at.

  6. I'm glad they finally got in the HOF. I thought it was a travesty they had to wait as long as they did considering how much they've done for popular music and their enduring influence and the allegiance of their fan base.

    That being said, I still can't stand them.

    I wont dislike you or anything for your opinion, but may I ask what it is about them you don't like?

  7. It pains me that at the end of the month they will be at Rocklahoma and I WONT BE THERE! Oh well. Glad to see them carrying on though, perhaps the best band of the past 23 years (debatable, they're in my to 5 of the past 23 years for sure though).

  8. Alice In Chains is the only other band that took me to places and inspires me in such great ways besides Led Zeppelin. Layne Staley tanks among the greatest vocalists in my opinion. So much he left, and so much more he could of done...

  9. Glad to see Black Sabbath getting out there. I hope Tony is doing good with his cancer treatment. I just can't get over my sinking feeling that this album will be a bit disappointing, with the lack of Wards drums and the hype of a new ozzy album roughly 25 years later, that's 1/4 of a century, damn.

  10. Do you guys think that maybe if Cobain hadn't of committed suicide, that maybe Pat Smear would of been invited as a full time member? Judging from his friendship with Kurt, playing in the last set of tours as a touring guitarist and his appearance at 12/12/12, I think it could of been possible. Then again, Nirvana almost seemed like they were on there way out, and that Cobain would of probably elected to of gone solo. I don't know, it's just too hard to tell :/

  11. A little more information on my experience. I only saw him once, to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. July 16th 2009 I remember, because the same day a year later in 2010 I saw Robert Plant in concert! Anyways, I live in a suburb of Tulsa, a much smaller town. He did the procedure there and not in his main building in Tulsa, where they did a surprise inspection out. It's horrifying what they found there. I'm just gonna say this: One of the things they found was medicine that expired 20 years ago. That and the anesthetic they give you for some procedures, the stuff that knocks you out, well untrained assistants were using it on patients when they weren't qualified to use it! Last I heard about the dentist they found him hiding out in Phoenix. He's an old guy, the picture they used to represent him in the articles was a Dentist portrait of him from the 70s. I honestly think I'm fine, but you never know and I'm going to the doctor. They did free testing yesterday, I don't know if they did today but they're gonna have to fucking bend over backwards for everyone affected by this, they fucking better. Little kids went to him. Fucking little kids were put in his care and trust. How do you explain this to your kid? This should never of happened. Anyone who had any clue that there might of been some unsafe practice going on is at fault, in my opinion. The dentist, the assistants. Just unbelievable.
