Short post

Big dilemma.

Aerosmith is coming in concert again.

I've been a faithful (ravenous?) fan since '77

When I first heard "Draw the Line"

On 8-track.

I was sad when they broke up in ('81)

I was confused when they got temporary replacement members

And recorded that one god-awful album ('82)

I was ecstatic when all the originals got back together ('84).

I've been in rock and roll heaven ever since.

Anyhoo, the dilemma:

Tickets are $45 for the cheap seats

$125 for the good seats.

My wife wants to go

And so does my youngest daughter.

That's three seats.

And due to current budget constraints

That's three CHEAP seats.

But

For almost the same price

I can get ONE good seat.

You see my dilemma.

I'm torn.




Thought for the day:
GIVE ME AMBIGUITY OR GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE!

actually, the cost of our t'giving trip coupled with the ONGOING cost of xmas has pretty much left me with nothing to spend on aerosmith tickets.

so i'll just come home that day, put on "Rocks", followed by "Get Your Wings", and whine and complain all night long about being broke. ;-)

I know your pain..i couldnt see Joe Bonamassa when he was in town last night..but I did see him two days ago in veqas, so i have no reason to bitch and whine I guess..

Nice choices..my two favorite Aerosmith albums..

LOL..praise jesus..

I was living in Beantown when the boys came up..I used to watch them at a seedy lil bar in Cambridge on Sat nights. I loved them then and I will always love them, they are part of my growing up and getting old..Joe Perry is a wonderful guitar player. I have all his solo albums..somewhere in my mess of stuff..I will have to find them and listen to them again.

i'm impressed, you lucky dog! seein' 'em BEFORE they became legends. how cool is that?

i don't s'pose you have any cool pics of 'em from back in the day?

i agree about joe perry. i'm a beginning guitar player and i watch his hands and fingers when he plays and i'm just awestruck. that's pure talent, baby!

i didn't buy any of his solo stuff back when, cuz i was pissed at him for leaving the band (i was an angry teen at the time). however, i DID see "The Whitford-St. Holmes Band" in concert during the breakup. they opened for someone else. they sucked. i was pleased.

Alas, I have no pics..but I did get stoned with Joe and Brad one night behind the building during a band break.

Thats it..nothing special..but i do remember it like it was yesterday.Funny the things you remember so vividly when everything else is hazy...
