Dheavy and Uranus

Wow. What an amazing athlete Wade was in this playoffs.. It was amazing to watch him play its like he is in a category all to himself.. I could care less that he is supposed to be this really quiet down to earth guy because usually those guys end up coming off the bench and are really good shooters.. In short they can't play defense and better shoot well because that is only thing you do in basketball that is truly afletic..
Enough Sports.. Wait a minute.. Wow Djustin hit a bomb last night.. 8 in a row they still need a miracle..

Eclipse and Bruce

I wanted to get back to this.. Last week IJ and I went to see Bruce and the "Bob Seeger Sessions" more on that later. BS went with his wife and tried to distance himself from us at the show which normally is good move since IJ and I are standing together we create our own gravitational pull. Well anyway a few years when I was at West BS introduced me to some of Bruce's solo acoustic folk stuff. At first I was hesitant I have never really cared for the sound of the Estreet band just didn't appeal to me.. I might be the only person in the US that doesn't like it.. But I really liked all of his acoustic music.. Well anyway IJ was raving about this new album called the Seeger sessions which I can sum up as some folk guy in the 60's who made an album of some old American folk songs.. Well Bruce decided to do it again 40 some years later… It turns out the album is unusual as anything I have ever listened to.. It just a cool combination of brass,violin,guitar,accordion,steel guitar,etc. the music just gets to you on weird level.. It is one of my favorite albums of all time. So I figured I figure it was worth the 100 or so to see Bruce perform.. Well they are doing this weird ticketing stuff for people on the main floor to avoid the scalpers to make a long story longer no one knows what is going and you pretty wait for them to let you in and you make the best of the situation.. Well IJ are cagey veterans of standing concert's and we know the value of having anything to lean out so we took a spot on this rail where approx 20 rows back.. (Awesome view) Well we had to sit down until the concert started which gave us the opportunity to listen to this security guard that was protecting the gate.. He started telling everyone that sometimes bruce comes out Bob seeger before the concert starts and plays with his band.. It was killing the "true" fans around us which made it even better.. This guy stood there for 3 hours and came up with a different reason why these people where sitting where they where.. Man people are dumb but remember the two great planets where sitting on the ground when all these people where coming behind us.. Well we can hear the people behind remarking about how great this spot was.. I took this opportunity to yell out a series of stupid questions to further antagonize the crowd like who is opening for Bruce at this concert… Well Uranus(IJ) is taking this in and is pleased that most of them are under 5'6 and are unaware that we are as tall as we are wide. Well about 5 minutes before the concert begins IJ thinks it will be more dramatic if we rise in unison and block out any viewing angles from people behind us have let alone light from the stage.. I take joy in the sound that was made it was the sort of gulping sigh when they realized there night was destroyed.. Well anyway I now know why Bruce is so successful.. The concert sounded amazing it was 2.5 hours people who sounded amazing and gave the impression they where having a blast.. Bruce is a true performer and entertainer and I would happily see him again.. Maybe even with the Estreet band..

Ohh Man I just had a Bruegers bagel .. Everything bagel with chives and onion it was fresh and amazing.. Why can't that be good for me.. I still need some topics for Ramble Thursday..
Fat out..

it would be the "Pete Seeger" sessions, not the "Bob Seger" sessions.

Turn The Page.

Uranus? Nice.

I resemble that remark.

I was gonna suggest that perhaps you refer to yourself as the planet that is covered in gaseous clouds, but....low hanging fruit.

I have some "fresh" topic ideas for ramble Thursday.

1) How bad the Wolves are.
2) How bad the Twins are.
3) How bad the Vikes are gonna be.

While I loved the Springsteen show, I would have liked to have heard him actually do the "Bob Seeger Sessions". "Like A Rock" is a classic.
