That was the most amazing concert I've seen... no question
Here's the gist of what I want to blog so I don't forget
The lead singer for the opening act, The Pretenders, was ambiguously hot. She could have been really old and wrinkly, but i couldn't tell
They were good, but no question the who were just too good
solo to who are you was particularly nice
wont get fooled again scream was the best ive heard save POSSIBLY the kids are alright
only way to tell if the songs over: does pete do the splits?
The keyboarder looked really apathetic no matter how crazy the band was. turns out it was actually the keyboard tech subbing for the keyboardist who's in England with his sick wife. pete asked the crowd to pray for him
The first song began on a differently fingered chord than usual, so i didnt recognize it until the 2nd chord: I Can't Explain. Each song was amazing, from that to The Seeker, which was in a slightly different rhythm, then Substitute, and the set list also included the following
Wire and Glass (Tea & Theatre was at the end), Tommy's Overture/Underture, Amazing Journey (after PBW), Pinball Wizard (1st encore), See Me Feel Me, a VERY long My Generation, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (Zak Starkey NAILED his drum fills), Baba O'Riley, which was probably the highlight of the show when it came on just after Wire & Glass, Man in a Purple Dress (Daltrey was standing on an amp the whole time, the rest of the band just kinda left cept Pete), WHO ARE YOU, which had some subpar synth but amazing guitar, You Better You Bet, which was awesome (introed with "this is a song i wrote for you" just as who are you was), Eminence Front, introed by "this is a song about people who think they're smarter than they really are," Real Good Lookin Boy, apparently about elvis and written by daltrey partially??!?!!, and Mike's Post Theme, about TV theme songs
This is crude info, but I just want it down. I'll polish it for ya later
Pete tried to spin his guitar in the air after Tea & Theatre, which was superb, and he couldn't quite get a hold of it. It fell and made an awful racket, but then the two standing together was all the more poignant. Pete threw a wad of guitar picks out to the crowd at the end, and as he left, he just said "you sad fuckers"
everyone laughed, and he just waved silently as he left, but one has to wonder just how much he truly meant it. people clamoring for GUITAR PICKS... still, i know i wouldve, and i hope he still loves his fans
If i had to review this concert, it would honestly be a 10/10 JUST because of the sheer amazingness of hearing the who...

?
So I've stopped working on my play before even blogging about how I know I will never be able to finish it... Not a good sign. It was a cool play on the nature of remorse and mistakes. A guy kills someone, though I haven't been able to think of who, hence the quitting, and the play begins with his own rationalization of it 2 weeks later. He has been affected immensely by it, and does not know what to do. Nobody knows it cept him and he's goin nuts. Maybe I'll take the 15 lines I wrote IN BLANK VERSE and put them up here eventually... let me know if you'd like it. Also, this is a test, once again, to see who actually reads this crap (even though I like it).
So I saw Borat... it was as funny as I had hoped, but if I were him, I would feel like a complete whore. He does some stuff I would never do, no matter how much money was at stake. Still... even though it's a one joke plot and a thin, hackneyed one at that, I laughed very, very hard.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being This is Spinal Tap and 1 being a spinal tap (its not easy making Spinal Tap related jokes), Borats a good 9!!! I like

Epic Poetry
So today has been overall pretty interesting. It was cold, I spent 2 hours writing a total of 7 lines of a play, and I have been cursing Zach Braff for being such a retard in Scrubs. Honestly!!! How can he not love Elliot!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! If you watch Grey's, it's not half as emotionally honest as Scrubs, where real people handle real problems, such as being locked away and taped up by a team of po'ed janitors or having people much more intelligent and attractive be madly in love with you. Personally, I think the second would be much less difficult, but that's just me.
New Who album out... finally. I'll get it if they put on a good show.
Marx brothers rule, ill fix this post later im busy

TECHNORATI RANKING
What I'm Listening to: Mitch Hedberg
What I'm Wearing (I brought it back): UT Shirt and swimsuit
GUESS WHAT?!?!?! I JUST GOT THE LATEST RANKING FOR MY BLOG ON TECHNORATI!!! I'M 1,538,539!!! w00t
actually I suck... oh well
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED!!!!! AHHHHHH
So I just got back in town... the radio is my new best friend. If not for that I would have died on the 8-9.5 hour trip. They played some latter-day Metallica, and I gotta say, IT SUCKED ASS. Maybe 4 riffs for the whole song, and the drums sounded like utter crap. Honestly.
I miss Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Hell, even The Black Album is great by comparison!!!! Just goes to show you, once you're famous, even if you produce crap, it'll sell like hotcakes... hotcakes of crap.
This week I'll be trying out for a play... wish me luck. Someday I could be a famous actor. That'd be nice. Fame and fortune is always a plus. Then again I could be a shitty actor with no life and a sleazy apartment and borrowing money from my mom. Meh, fame and fortune is worth it
Post In Progress!!!
