I went to see U2 and Springsteen on Broadway last year. Both delivered the goods mightily.
Anybody catch any of the other acts on the list? Headed to one or more in '19? I'd like to believe that I've attended my last show when it's more helpful to look at the oversized screen near me than the teensy-weensy band on a stage over the hills and far away. But you never know.
Actually, I'm always interested in whatever musical events, large or small, you people are attending (not musicals, mind you), so please share what's on your rock and roll docket the coming months.
Up next for me: Pink Talking Fish next Saturday. Always fun.

Fuck Billy Joel
But who would you marry & kill, TR?
Squeaky and I have a Budos Band show in the works. Action Bronson is coming to The Wellmont in April but on a Wednesday night. I want to go but the next day will be tough.
It will likely surprise no one that I'm with TR on Billy Joel.
i'm gonna see the rootstone jug band at the leesburg flower and garden festival in late april. and the dirty dozen brass band at the tally ho in leesburg in late may. trying to find another fancy-sounding event and/or venue in between those two.
Sadly, the jug band will not be in leesburg this April. We do have a show at the Henrico Theatre in rva on Friday 3/29. If anyone wants a spot on the guest list let me know.
well that's a jug punch
3/29 in RVA might be doable. Worth moving things around to see a gheorghie playing live music...
Zman, are we doing Isbell/FJM in RVA in June?
Dandy Warhols in DC in May seems like a longer shot.
Trombone Shorty and Ben Harper, 8/21 in Lynchburg and 8/22 at Wolf Trap...
This Lori Loughlin news has me bummed out. I have silently carried a torch for her for 30+ years. It all started with Secret Admirer and Back to the Beach, a movie I’m not afraid to admit I really liked when I was in middle school.
But I have no sorrow for the Filliam H. Muffman family.
AUNT BECKY ON THE LAM
Just think TR, if LL was your mum, you may not have had to slum it at W&M.
If LL was my dad, I’d have doper rhymes than those in “Dr. Seuss”...

Happy 1-yr laid off anniversary to me! Tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of the other time I was laid off.
Getting laid > getting laid off
Good ones, D. Pave
Coincidentally, Random Idiots were formed pretty much 30 years ago today
johnny g likes coco loco . . .
our rhymes weren't appropriate 30 years ago and they're less appropriate now . . .
it's funny that happened so late in freshman year. the concerts and songs kind of permeate all my memories of monroe . . .
A lot of stories had to already happen that year for us to write songs about, you know...
