Geriatric Weekend (aka Countdown to Vegas)
Date: November 4, 2006 07:56
Well, my road trip (from Los Angeles to Las Vegas) for the all-geezer rock 'n roll weekend is getting close ... Friday night with the Who and Saturday night at the MGM Grand for the Stones ... the whole concept is pretty funny ... I can just picture what my response would have been in junior high school (circa 1966) if someone had told me that I'd be seeing the Who and the Stones on consecutive nights forty years later (in Las Vegas of all places) ... despite all of the embarrassing aspects of spending over $600 to see aged rockers, I do think that the venues that the Who and Stones are playing in Vegas are among the best possible to see those bands ... I'm starting to get a strong feeling that this may be the Last Time for the Stones ... so I'm going out with a (bigger) bang ... and bring on i'm free, under my thumb and connection ... see you at Zuri's ... I'll be the guy with the grey hair ...
