I'm Going to a Rock Concert!

[Tomconroy]

OMG! I haven't done this in so long. But I was driving by the local concert venue and just as I passed the electronic sign flashed and said that Brian Wilson and Al Jardine of Beach Boys fame are coming Oct. 8. I think Brian Wilson is a genius. A worthy successor to Cole Porter.
My wife was with me driving. It really didn't register at first. Then we were at lunch and I began to think: I've listened to his music since I was a kid. This will be my one chance to see him
So I ordered the tickets!
I'm pretty excited. It's time to revive the performing arts. The world's opinion of us as a nation may go up and down. But American music and movies (and popular culture in general) are beloved the world over. So after the Great Lockdown I've taken my first step back to seeing a live performance.

2. Brian Wilson is a genius!

Have you seen the movie about him? Love and Mercy? Highly recommend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_%26_Mercy_(film)

I hope you have a great time at the show.

3. Yes. I knew the story. It was a real revelation to my wife who, being

A little younger, missed out on the Beach Boys in the 60s
I'm really excited about the show!
This is the first time I've had to deal with electronic tickets. I think I have the hang of it!

4. I went to Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds concert four years ago.

It was one of the best shows I have heard. Go if you can, but be sure to mask up to be safe.

A sample of his music:

Being that Synth/Synth-punk is my fav..we bought tickets to see the
Belarusian band Molchat Doma from Minsk.

Can't wait..but guess I have to wait.
