Concert of your Life

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

Ok, what concert would you sell a family member into eternal slavery to see? I personally would give both my kidneys to have seen Queen and David Bowie performing “Under Pressure” live. I only have a video of it but if you think about the times they were in (think Live Aid) and the incredible talent that is present on that stage… its amazing.

I personally think that Freddy Mercury and David Bowie were (are) some of the best liver performers for the Rock & Roll genre. A lot of bands get lost with the “message” or start to think they are more important than they really are (see: System of A Down). I love bands that just give an awesome performance to their fans who pay a large amount of money to see them in concert.
How about you? What major organs or family members are you willing to part with to see something amazing live.

… Like Democrats?

Hey, I don’t care what party he’s joking about, but this has got to be one of Bob Hope’s funniest lines. The setup is just great, and then BAM! He hits you with it, and even though it’s so slap-stick, you just have to laugh.

It’s a shame that partisan politics have become so ingrained in our culture that we can’t look beyond our party or take a joke or two.
