Despite our Differences

Music is poetry regardless of whether you like the melody and today these lyrics struck me. The Indigo Girls always seem to know how to say it best.
These are the lyrics from one of their new songs called Run.

You don't want me calling you up
all melancholy sick from love
You prefer it uncomplicated
Things are tricky now and I bet you hate it
Your mind's eye finds the exit sign
And you're off in perfect fashion

And you run, that's all you've ever done
It's all you know to do
I can't hold that against you
And you'll flee, you're born to be free
And if you go I'll understand
But you better get out while you can

Party's over we had our fun
Flirting with madness a loaded gun
As much as nothing every things changed
I'm soaking in it, it falls like rain
You seek the sun to dry off what's been done
You'll heat up every corner of the World

As you run....
Get out while you can

Can you keep this pace forever
I have never seen it done
You deep burn all you leave behind you
You're the surface of my sun

I measure to what degree
I can shape up what's been forged in me
The copper penny hissing in the pool
So much for wishes, so much for cooling
Down this fire impossible desire
The further you get, the more I'm drawn

Top 10 reasons not to attend a country western concert in the new millennium

It's finally done! I went to a Rascal Flatts concert this summer and I am sorry to say, but it sucked! I guess I am not a true fan. With the help of SH who grew up in the South, we made this list based on my experience at the concert...Dave Letterman style. Here is the top 10 reasons not to attend a Country Western Concert in the new Millennium.

10. Since everyone is required by the laws of country music to drive an SUV or pickup to the show, you will have to walk your happy ass across 6 miles of parking lots just to get to the ticket counter.
9. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Charlie Daniels would'nt pay $5 for a warm draft Budweiser, and neither should you.
8. Three words... Yuppies in Boots.
7. Seeing that many Nascar and Jeff Foxworthy T-shirts in one night could leave you permanently brain damaged.
6. There is no stadium seating in existence that is steep enough for you to see over all the big hair on the ladies in front of you.
5. Your odds of being in a seat next to a guy in overalls with deerblood on them are about 1 in 4. 4. The odds that he bathed since killing that deer are 1 in 6.
3. Since country music kicked the Dixie Chicks out for thinking, the collective IQ of the crowd and band will be around 7 or 8. If there are pyrotechnics involved, this could spell trouble.
2. The 10-gallon hats are matched only by the 10 gallons of urine on the bathroom floor.
And The number one reason, by personal experience why not to attend a Country Music concert in the new Millennium is
1. It only takes 2 Natural lights and some Hank Jr. in the parking lot to turn 4 mild-mannered softball Moms into the shit-talking drunken ladies of wrestling. And they will be sitting right behind you all night long.
The bonus is personally from SH so here goes....
Bonus upside to country music concerts in the new millennium!
*Due to the recent pussification of country music by Gap-wearing sissy-boys, the chances that you will get into it with someone who could actually kick your ass are greatly reduced!

Pete and Repeat

I wore the exact same outfit to work two days in a row. I'm gross.

That's Entertainment!

In the past two weeks, I have seen two really great concerts. Last week was The Flaming Lips and last night I got to see AEROSMITH!! Thanks to JDY for the free tix and helping boost my social calendar. My favorite cuz JJS came with me to both and we had so much fun!! Aerosmith rocked the hiiiizouuse and I would say is in my top two of great concerts. U2 was the other unforgettable concert of all time. It is always nice to see a legendary band that actually has some real talent, not like the jokers in my previous post. Aerosmith even rocked out some old school Blues tunes which I was extremely impressed with. I wonder what's in store for next week? No pressure JDY.
