    The mafia paid the helicopter to fly in that direction causing a drift of the ball

    You didn't see the back judge reach into his pocket to almost throw the flag, when it went "wide right"... Ah, nevermind!😆

     

    😨

    My now wife moved in with me 3 months after we met.   We hadnt crossed that bridge yet.   I outkicked my coverage big time and didnt want to gross her out.   

     

    Long story short my ass went rouge one night and I literally jump scared myself awake.   Must have impressed her because four months later we were engaged.  14 years and 4 kids later she still doesnt in front of me if she can help it.

     

    Side note is there any better car ride than leaving a first date and finally getting a little relief?

     

     

    WOW!  Impressive!  You involuntary fart while sleeping.  Fart dreaming!

     

    That's downright nasty! In a good way?😉

    I heard at that Van Morrison concert that the last time he played that amphitheater he wanted to ban alcohol sales.  Apparently he has an alcohol problem, but the venue exists to make money. Are you going to slash your fee, Van, to stand for your principles?  No alcohol, no hits, what a great concept! (Not.) 

     

    I do understand, though. We’ve known musicians who tour the globe, and we’ve had conversations about how monotonous it is to do the same hits over and over, night after night, city after city. BUT, that is what people are paying to see. They follow the money and keep people happy. 

    Guys like Morrison don't give a schnitzel, they probably would rather have you NOT attend.  They aren't doing it for the money.

     

    From AI:

     

     

    "Van Morrison has expressed that fame is largely a burden, describing it as a "pain in the ass" that intrudes on his privacy and personal life. He prefers to focus on his music rather than the superficial aspects of celebrity culture."

     

    I don't agree with him on certain issues... BUT he's right on when it comes to status & money... He ain't doing the show for you.

    We sat in the nosebleeds to see the Eagles and Chris Stapleton not too long ago. They will have to PAY ME more than $300 to get me to do it again in a giant arena. On the flip side, we saw Jonathan Taylor (James’ brother) in a tiny little venue a couple tables from the stage and it was awesome! And for a fraction of the price. Great time. 

     

    Side note: We saw Van Morrison on his “everything but the hits tour”. He played for a couple hours without ever playing anything familiar. That was impressive, but not in a good way. I felt ripped off after that one. 

    Ah... Gee... You were warned, no?

     

    "Everything But The Hits"

     

    How can you feel ripped off when he was basically telling you you're gonna be ripped off... LoL... /smdh

     

    I like Van Morrison even more now for his blunt honestly... He's always got a bad rap as being an overly pretentious douchebag & his politics aren't my cup of tea... BUT I can respect his music & brutally blunt commentary on commercialism... "Down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn", etc... lol

     

    Hope he played: 

    "Down through the weeks of ages"
    "In the moss borne dark dank pools"
    "Rave on, down through the industrial revolution..."

    "...Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass Rave on, fill the senses On nature's bright green shady path..."

     

    See, I just got you return value on your hard dolla that purchase that ticket.  Now you don't have to holla... Sounds like a great show for the value.

    You’re old. 

     

    I kid, of course.

     

    Mostly. :)

     

    We’ve noticed in recent years how differently people can perceive value. Even people we have been friends with for decades just see things differently. That’s fine.  We finally drew a line and said we may not see ALL the shows, but we will not be seeing them from cheap seats, watching a giant monitor in the back of the upper deck. Good seats for fewer shows is our preference. 

     

    Oh, I prefer watching Bills games at home. There, I said it! 

    You @ the ballpark?🤣

    Was waiting for you to chime in on this portion of the thread. Given your descriptions, I think I may be on the escarpment. Maybe. Prayers up lol

    Yeah... Geology in college (UB) kinda does that.😕

     

    But in all seriousness, Upstate WNY does have very interesting, beautiful geology/geography...

     

    Where you at now?  Still In South NJ/Winslow?... I am there now for the next 10 days... Daughter and family live there!
