So I've had some extra time this holiday to reflect over this past year. And for some reason, I started to think back at the concerts that I have been to. There were a few that I went to in 2006, but this was really the first time in my life that I could actually go to all of the shows that I wanted to. Well, those I could afford to anyway!
So in 2007 (so far), I have been able to see The Roots, Aaron Lewis of Staind, George Clinton and Parliament, Rush, My Chemical Romance, AFI, Wolfmother, The Killers, The Bravery, Daugherty, Lifehouse, TV on the Radio, and of course....Incubus!
Planning on closing out the year seeing Ghostland Observatory on December 30th. But also hoping to catch how the Edge stole xmas on that Friday to see Jimmy Eat World and Coheed and Cambria.
The best show...Incubus! The show that impressed me the least? Probably either AFI and My Chemical Romance at Edgefest, or The Bravery when they opened for Incubus.
Who did I miss that I wish I hadn't? I would really like to have seen The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus (at gypsy tea room), The Police (though I heard they weren't great), Erykah Badu, Alice Cooper, Joss Stone, The Killers, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timeberlake, Goo Goo Dolls and the Blue October/Yellowcard show. Will also miss Billy Joel and R. Kelly.
Who am I looking forward to seeing this next year? Well, at this point, the only the ones I know about or anticipate rolling through town are Foo Fighters, Van Halen and Bon Jovi.
What about you?
About Me
- Benjy - i am paradox
- First of all, I believe in love. You know, that reach for the stars, head over heels, makes your heart beat faster and your palms sweat, life changing, make you into a better person for someone else kind of love. That's also why I believe in God, and that they are one in the same. Without love, nothing else matters. I really dig music, art and film because they remind us of everything both good and bad in this world, and that another world exists outside of this one. I'm a pacifist. I am a follower of Jesus, although not a very good one. I am usually too liberal for most christians, and usually too conservative for most normal people. I don't think that foreign terrorists were the cause of tragedy on September 11th. I think the so called war in Iraq is nearly as bad, if not worse, than Vietnam. I think it should be ended immediately. I am shocked at how many of our freedoms are being lost by the patriot act. I usually bring politics and religion up in conversation, even when meeting someone for the first time. Life may not always go the way that you want or turn out exactly like you wish, but it's also too short for regrets.
