completely off topic....wolfmother

Last night I treated myself to a ticket to go see Wolfmother at Stubb's BBQ and it was better than the first time I saw them there back in 2007.

Talk about full on rock assault from beginning to end! With the exception of a few slower songs and even a cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights", this show was not for the faint of heart. They managed to mix new tracks from "Cosmic Egg" (their newest endeavor that just came out this past Tuesday) with crowd favorites from their first album "Wolfmother". The band seemed to be really enjoying the crowd...singer Andrew Stockdale defined the term "front man" last night, leading the crowd in chants, arm waving & clapping.

I was really in the mood for this type of show too. After enjoying so much music from this year's ACL festival I just wanted to keep the rock coming. I don't have the set list, but will keep on the lookout for it and post it when I can find it.

Thank you to all the people who were around me last night rocking out just as hard as I was...it was a sea of arms flailing, fists pumping, head banging and overall joy. What a treat! If you get the chance to see them, I highly recommend it.

how fun was this?

I think there comes a time in everyone's life where they just need to fess up to their desire of being a rock star. C'mon, let's face it, interactive games like Rock Band & Guitar Hero have made us all "believe" that we could really do it. Even the most shy, quiet or reserved people want it, I've seen it and its invigorating!

On my recent trip to NYC I had the opportunity to live out a little of this rock star fantasy with some friends. Let me just say that it does take a little coaxing to get me to perform, but that I truly love it when I'm up there. It's just a hell of a lot of fun...

So here I am (with back up singer in tow) singing "Do You Wanna Touch?" by Joan Jett. It was a blast and I think I'm still shaking...but it was well worth it.

rock on!
