Guns and Roses tickets August 13 Hershey arena maybe I'll hook up with a Grandma groupie.

Last edited Mon Apr 17, 2023, 06:02 AM - Edit history (1)

At first I bought three online well 18 my computer tech department purchased them with my Visa card for boys and i we already have received those by mail. Yesterday we picked up several more because well 18 significant other wants to go along so she can have my spot with 18-19 at arena.

So now 16 my young kiddo guitar slinger who has become family to us all wants to go as well and so I picked up tickets for our daughter the middle child her spouse and for 16 her mom and i.

She is sweet kid she so reminds me of Mick Michelle our middle daughter at that age I met her at sons high school guitar class jamming with the kids before thanksgiving break. I told them yesterday that your mother Elizabeth and I saw G&R when she was pregnant with you Michelle.

So I laid down few rules no crowding me out if I meet someone the boys started laughing who would wanna date a scrawny ass guy built like a slim Jim with a long ass goatee.

I had to argue my point I replied hey I have all my hair all my teeth I cook clean do laundry seriously fellas you remember your mom , saying stop with the Clorox when cleaning the bathrooms Uncle Sam taught me how to GI a latrine I’m into personal hygiene as well.

Oh yea and I’m gainfully employed as teamster I make huge coin and I’m sitting on 30+ defined pension and an annuity.

Truth is I joke and if Liz was still around I’d pushed her into the arena in her wheelchair and we would have enjoyed this G&R now rocking for those of us close to social security eligibility. I’d probably told my wife ok time to go they’re coming back out to do encore we gotta go and beat traffic and please remind me to clean my cpap mask before bed.

Your tribe certainly will, and good luck with the Grandma groupie hook up plan!

You never know your luck!

Women tend to outlive spouse type blokes at your age, you are in demand but just don't know it yet, so I'm hopeful for you.

Look for a nice smile and shining eyes!

Floyd - "The Wall."

Zep - third row, center.

Springsteen - first row, center.

Moody Blues

The Who -- Moon's last concert at M.S.G. -- another Who show, I was so close, I got Pete's blood on me when he cut himself on a guitar string while doing the windmill.

Many Stones concerts. Aways, first couple'a rows.

Sultans of Swing

Tull

Dylan (Rodney Dangerfield was sitting directly in front of me)

--- and on a divergent track, Bill Monroe, Seldom Scene and Ralph Stanley.


I hope August 13 becomes one that plants firmly in your memory bank.

My concert days are behind me. If a room holds more than 300, I ain't going.
But, you sure sound up for it.
So, have fun.
