    Everyone have a great safe long weekend.Drinks all around on me.
    Mrs,rr and myself are heading out to the Slash concert tonight at the Hard Rock in Ft.Lauderdale with the great Myles Kennedy singing for him.Im not sure if I'm excited or just going with the flow on this one.I know he does a lot of GNR and Velvet Revolver plus some Zep covers.Anyone seen him solo?

    Have a blast, rr - what I've seen of him and Myles has been absolutely kickass. Both quite talented.

    I say be excited AND go with the flow :)

    Show was good,Kennedy does GNR better then bloated Axl.Slash is amazing on those Les Paul's .Venue kinda sucked,too many people sitting,no pit and in my 40s I felt young compared to a lot of the crowd.
    Wife gave the show a 6 on the 10 scale,I knew if I had gotten her another double Vodka(Titos ) tonic it coulda been a 7 or 8.Oh well.Ill post a pic or 2 later.
    I'm feeling like its an old school Van Halen weekend.

    That's what some of us are here for, young man. :)) Glad you had a good time!

    Gonna hang out here awhile and relax in the lounge car sans controversy. ;-)

    I was gonna post this in the no god thread as a (sort of) indication of how I feel about it all.

    Then again, this made me so happy, seemed more fitting here.

    Nice post.
    In three weeks we are headed to Atlanta for the Music Midtown fest.PJ and Foo played it 2years ago,Janes,Queens,Weezer,Journey last year.This year line up is a little funky with John Mayer,Jack White,Eminem,Lorde,Zac Brown Band.I love ZBB and they headline sat night at same time as Eminem so Thats a no brainier.But Fri night jack White,who I want to see is on the same time as John Mayer,who wifey wants to see.So I have a big scheduling issue(thank you idiot organizers for a well thought out plan putting both headliners on at same time).Is jack White that good live I should put up a stink?A little input if you guys have seen either would be helpful.

    Ah, Slash is just so fucking gifted. Love him.

    As to your conundrum...of the artists you mention, the only one whose music I know (and adore) is White's. I haven't seen him live but the footage OF him live? Talent surrounded by talent.

    Go see Jack White. I saw him last week and he was amazing.

    But maybe I'm the wrong person to give you advice since I think John Mayer is boring as fuck.

    I'm with you and Hedo on this.But here is the rub.The night before is the Richmond Foo Fighters private gig,and a week after is PJ in STL.So according to wifey I get what I want(musically speaking) and the only act at Midtown other then ZBB that she wants to see is John Mayer.Even though she is also a big FOO fan I do kinda drag her with me to PJ, so she does have a point and some leverage.Maybe I can go for a 3song beer run twice?

    My fucking god is it only Monday?

    *edit - typed the above and stepped aside to hit the bowl and the snifter (last few days have challenged me as never before...and I've had my moments).

    The Beans - Cat #1 - took the opportunity to sit on the keyboard and while staring me down, typed out around fifty lines of ".".

    Animals put shit in perspective. Such beautiful, wonderful, humorous, thought-provoking perspective.

    Now I've gotta go nuzzle the belly and ears of Cat #2.

    ps to rr - I love PF Changs. And the Foos have played several times over the last few years at the Troubadour, close by to my work. Didn't know till after the fact, dammit.

    Sorry to hear about the couple of rough day and hope things are going better, Hedonist. Yes, thank heavens for our critters!
