~~~~~man, i saw the rhett/neil show last wed. and
wow. what a show. aside from the annoying frat boy
contingent who insisted on yelling/singing every word
of rhett's repetoire in my ear, leaning on my shoulder
as if we were buds and screaming for 'time bomb' until
rhett said, 'if i promise to play it, will you settle
down??' i had a beautiful time at a wonderful double
bill. i missed neil this summer, due to a prior
engagement i could NOT get out of, and i was sooo
bummed that i'd not be able to see him again. but lo
and behold, there i was, front row for two, two, two
wonderful performances in one night. i got a
chocolate covered strawberry passed to me, and just
had a great night of music in my favorite city in the
world, chicago. (i haven't been to europe or
australia yet, so, i'm not sure on that count...) but
as far as crowded house/neil finn goes, there just
isn't a song that hits me wrong. at one point, when
neil was singing, i thought, 'man, he's the mccartney
of my generation.' and then i thought, 'how old IS he,
anyway...?'
how was your show??
