Next month
Jul. 15th, 2004 09:11 amIn less than a month we'll be at the Fleet Center seeing the man.
I haven't been there since it was the Garden (!) and that was at the tour that Aerosmith played with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones as openers. The Bosstones were a crappy arena band (I much preferred them in a small venue; a couple of years before I saw them at Brandeis University in their ballroom and ironically Brian was there at the same show hanging out with friends of mine from Waltham that were pit rats - though we didn't meet till a year or so later). My dad had bought 4 tickets - He and Mom, me and Cynthia (EJ was too young at the time). Cynthia was being a teenager with an attitude at the time that didn't want to go to a concert with her parents . . . so my cousin Karen went instead. My dad hated the Bosstones and made fun of them during the whole set (and then made fun of me mercilessly after the show for liking them). MAN could Steven Tyler and Joe Perry put on a show! I'm glad we caught their tour last year and got to see the blues part, complete with lots of neon signs of flashing curvy women on stage.
Anyway, it was the Garden still back then. Later it would be ripped apart and the score board would end up in the Arsenal Mall food court (next to the world's largest FootLocker store). But I digress - we'll be seeing THE MAN at the Fleet Center in mid. August. You have no idea how excited I am about this (and how psyched I was to open that birthday card from Brian last month)
I love this song off Musicology. I think it would be nice to choreograph a bellydance to at some point ( Cinnamon Girl, by Prince )
