Upcoming Concerts
I have to say that I am pretty excited about 2 of the three concerts I have tickets to in the next couple of months. Coming up at the end of November is Depeche Mode at the Palace. Mode is always a great show. They just seem bigger than life. I haven't bought the new album yet, but plan to as the set lists that I have seen on line seem to suggest the concert will be loaded w/ new stuff.
In December it is off to the Palace again to see Lenny Kravitz and Aerosmith. What a powerhouse lineup. I would pay $100 to see Lenny alone. I don't think Lenny gets the critical acclaim that he should. Some people argue that he wants to be the child of Prince and Jimmy Hendrix. That he doesn't have a signature sound. That he is too much of a dreamer. Well to quote John Lennon, "I'm not the only one." Lenny's music has always been thought provocative. "Mr. Cab Driver" was one of my favorite songs on the first album. Stripped and Raw, this song was a narrative of what African Americans, let alone ones w/ funky hair, go through in big city life. Truly opened my eyes to what was then a very small world for me. As for Aerosmith, well all I have to say is *Piiiink is my favorite color*. I love that song. Just a great American band. nuff said.
Finally, a week and a half before our wedding, Heather and I are going to the Detroit Opera House to see Il Divo. I would rather see The Beastie Boys gettin ill, but Heather just loves the Il Divo. Whenever we are in her Durango and she puts that CD on I just cringe. "unbreak my heart" in Opera just isn't my thing. But, hey, got some brownie points for buying the tickets.
