I thought I was going to have to park eight miles away, but when I drove down Sheffield I got the very first free parking space kitty-corner to Murphy's....as we were walking up the backsteps, all of the Jimmy Buffett fan's were singing Margaritaville...<BR/><BR/>That was a great American moment.kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203640645714698292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-12296311701714546622007-07-06T21:03:00.000-05:002007-07-06T21:03:00.000-05:00I used to like the Police, and Synchronicity was o...I used to like the Police, and Synchronicity was one of my favorite early 80's records...but I've gotten so tired of, and irritated by, Sting, that I would'nt bother to see them now unless it was free.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-60512874977287061692007-07-06T15:29:00.000-05:002007-07-06T15:29:00.000-05:00jy, I'd still have been happy to have seen them. ...jy, I'd still have been happy to have seen them. It would somehow plug a small void in my adolescence (though most likely it would just make me realize there wasn't really a void). Re: your stepdaughter, just tell her that public urination is what distinguishes us from those snobbish Brits (but not the French).<BR/><BR/>mr. miller, I agree that much of their music has suffered over time -- primarily the heavy-handed and intellectualish lyrics Sting would occasionally lapse into, but I recently downloaded all of their albums (I had all their stuff on cassette, woo!) and a lot of it still makes me boogie. I would have tried as hard as hell to get a babysitter if my coworker was offering me the tickets for the price he ended up selling them for, too.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-85691316706699780482007-07-06T15:04:00.000-05:002007-07-06T15:04:00.000-05:00As a kid, I LOVED The Police.

But if someone had offered me free tickets I probably would have gone.Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318879290010704973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-81314137992745420612007-07-06T10:57:00.000-05:002007-07-06T10:57:00.000-05:00That sucks-- he should have just sold them to you....That sucks-- he should have just sold them to you. Sounds like you didn't miss much, though.<BR/><BR/>Kim lived just a few doors down from Wrigley when I met her. My stepdaughter told me a while back at how much happier she is here (about a mile and a half west of Wrigley). Seems that the height of drunken Cub fan comic genius is to play "ding dong ditch" at midnight or so. Hilarious.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.com
