apparently this show is amaze

also hes 73

rock stars dont last this long

except for the Stones, i know,

and zep

WHATEVER

tix are like $181

the screens are supposed to be like U2, incredible

and i do love those songs

but they do depress me sometimes

amber has been paying rent, so maybe i should be happy about that and use that money for tix

but i wanted to use that money to pay off the national debt.

because debt is bad, mmmmkay? but missing great rock shows is also bad.

do you see the problems i have in my life?

we’re all gonna die.

i should probs go to the rock show. so i have something to talk to St. Peter about.

cuz lord knows i dont have any good stories up my sleeve,

and all the angels and saints are dying for rock reviews.

and not tales of freedom.

Greatest song that’s (not-so) secretly about gun control? Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Saturday Night Special” — which came out 42 years today.

The tune was co-written by singer Ronnie Van Zant and Glendale’s own Ed King who met Skynyrd when King’s band (the Strawberry Alarm Clock) were on tour with them. Eventually King joined Skynyrd and co-wrote many songs with Van Zant including “Mr. Banker” “Working for MCA” and “Sweet Home Alabama”. He played bass and later when their original bassist returned he played guitar as part of the three guitar attack.

after i took amber to eminem v rihanna, i swore off seeing any more shows at the rose bowl

but ive seen u2 play a stadium before and they were great.

however that was 30 years ago, the last time they toured off the Joshua Tree album

hard to believe it was that long ago, it seems like yesterday, but alas.

i still love those songs and i peeked at the setlist and it seems like theyre playing the hits, appeasing the fans, dipping back into the glory days, and walking down the streets that have well recognized names.

it’s also gonna be warm this weekend.

i could use some soul glow.

i might just go by myself.

and leave early 🙂

but it’s in san diego

and fucking LIVE is gonna be there to ruin everything

but Kesha and Weezer and Janes and Ice Cube and Tom Petty are gonna be there

and Fishbone and Led Zeppelin 2 (?) and Machine Gun Kelly and Pepper

AND SHAQ and T-Pain and Garbage are gonna be there

and it’s just $100 a night

but screw San Diego.

in a perfect world id have a girlfriend

and we’d chill in TJ and cross the border every day

and drive back down and sip on Mexicokes and fish tacos

skinny dip in the pacific

and laugh about Smashmouth

and fall asleep saying

the first fifty years was about saving the world

the next fifty is about writing books.

this was always the plan.

bukowski didnt hit till after 50 and even then he wasn’t super happy. he was pretty happy but not super happy and unlike him i wanna be super happy. i know im not as handsome as he was or as tough or even as talented but im not a drunk im not wild

and best of all im black so i dont crack.

she was not happy with this response.

i could tell because this morning she returned the cheerleader outfit, hot pants, and headdress.
