    and I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the black market man,
    I've had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the silver city
    and it's only other vets could understand.     ;)

    I don't know, maybe I need to to learn to chill the hell out.

    I get an invite from the owners of a wine distributing company that I do work with. They were having their usual summer bash at their home. Sounded good. The couple that own the business are sweet, friendly people. I know how to avoid the usual wine snobs in attendance and I knew there would be a fine supply of drink flowing, so why not go. Outdoors, bbq'd salmon on the menu, good way to spend a Saturday evening.

    After a couple of hours and couple glasses of vino later a few of us stumbled inside and decide to, with approval from the host and hostess, put in the Rolling Stones' "Shine A Light" dvd. Ok, I know the drill: Keith looks like death (fair enough), Mick sounds like crap (not totally fair), their so old (duh), and so on. I mean, really, state the obvious and move along. I've neen listening to the Rolling Stones pretty much since I was born. Granted, I have a good laugh at their wrinkles like the next person. I also have, as a music fan, a huge amount of respect for the incredible legacy of this band.

    So, as I hang out with this group of 6 or 7 people chatting and giving their inane opinions of the (band) movie I can't help but get this incredible urge tell them all to shut the fuck up! Give the Stones at least a few props for still giving a shit to put on a show and make some good music. And yes, I do mean good music; A Bigger Bang is a good record.

    I realize that life isn't one big Pearl Jam message board where we're all brought together by the same passion, but still, I just don't know how to deal with people's criticisms of bands or musicians when they have no real passion or knowledge of the subject. I mean there was even this women there that said "I think Mick sounded better when he was younger because he looked better." Hello, stupid!?

    I did make it out alive with a goody bag that contains a couple bottles of good merlot, crackers, and a couple of pears. Asian pears I think. Score.

    And I did cop a really good buzz. ;)

    But those people....

    DUDE!!! :D You do need to chill a little. Sounds like a great night! Wish I'd been there. If you can avoid the wine tossers you can avoid the music tossers too. :D

    Now do tell what wine you had. :D
    NOPE!!!
