Comic Relief!

For the most part, my kids love rock music. Sure there’s alternative rock, southern rock, hard rock, retro rock, you name it, there’s a rock; but they like a good peppering of all of it. And since the dawn of Guitar Hero, bands from my era have merged back into the mainstream – must have been made by some “old” guys…

That said – we cruised on down to Crüe Fest this past weekend. The kids were stoked and ready to have their faces blasted off by speaker induced winds. It was the middle of the afternoon, it was hot, it was humid, and the crazies were out and about. The “trash band” – as we refer to the opening act – was surprisingly decent. Drowning Pool and Godsmack rocked it out – but let me go on record and just say Theory of a Deadman is NOT my favorite live performer. Finally, Mötley Crüe started their gig in awesome fashion – massive wheel chair props rolling across the stage – lights strobing – smoke flying – and Vince Neil lets it rip… ♪ ♫ “Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood... ♫ ♪

Monkey turned and looked at me, his eyes wide - full of shock and confusion, pulls my ear down to him and says …

Wait for it …

Wait for it…
