Welp, I guess I needed a social life outside working on motors.

Spent Thursday night in the Jax Veterans Memorial Arena for a three hour concert by the band Rush.

Was a good concert...my head is still ringing.

how did you like the arena? I love it and the new baseball stadium.

I'm surprised at how small it was...what do the use it for most of the time? Hockey games?

Otherwise, it was fairly comfortable. The show wasn't even close to being sold out, so there was plenty of room.

now that song is stuck in my head

it seats 15,000. We held a round of the NCAA tournament here a year ago. It gets used for hockey, Jacksonville University basketball, concerts,graduations, and at one point we had an arena football league.

Gonna show my age here.....


I got the chance to see them they played Carolina Coliseum in Columbia during the Moving Pictures tour. Three rows from center stage and "under the influence of adult aromatics


Damned good time

Now, we can't have that now can we... <fiddles with 8-track cassette> Here ya go...


I get up at seven, yeah
and I go to work at nine
I've got no time for livin
yes, I'm working all the time.


I can't make jokes about the folks going to Wayne Newton or Neil Diamond concerts anymore...the median age of the crowd at the Rush concert was about 45 ish. I guess even the heavy metal rockers get old too

Wow! I bet that was awesome to see Neal and Alex. I was gonna go with my brother last fall when they were here but I didn't make it Next time though im there.

Forgetting someone?
I am so envious... I've always wanted to see the great trio in person...



There is trouble in the forest. There is trouble with the trees. For the maples want more sunlight and the oaks ignore their pleas...
