They Call Me Baby Driver
Went to see Simon and Garfunkle last night. Ok, I know what you're thinking. My favorite bands are Tool, Korn, System of a Down, NIN, etc. But there is a place in my heart for the music I grew up with as well. My parents were (and still are) huge S&G fans, as well as Peter, Paul, and Mary, CSN, Beatles...I could go on forever. I still enjoys these groups and when I heard S&G were coming to town, I couldn't resist. They haven't played together since the 80s and who knows how long it will be before they come back. So I got tickets with my brother and sister, and of course Fran.
The show was amazing. They haven't lost their touch in the 40some years they've been playing together. When they played Sounds of Silence, I got chills. This may have been the best concert I've ever been to. They played just about every song I wanted to hear, including the Boxer in their first encore, which brought tears to my eyes. The Everly Brothers (who have been opening up for them, but for some reason did not last night) came on in the middle of the first set and did a few songs. I enjoyed them as well, although I was never really into them.
So I had a great night, even though I had to work at TI during the day. The snowstorm kept me from getting to work on Saturday. Sunday was my day off, but they called me in because 3 people claimed they couldn't get to work. What a crock of shit, the roads were perfectly fine yesterday. Anyhoo, I went in for awhile because I felt I owed them for not getting there on Sat. We ended up with about a foot of snow.
Well, that's about all that I have to report for now. Ta ta for now!
