I had 2 dear friends fly in from Arkansas and Northern Cali to see this show last night. They seemed to have fun at the show. They offered to buy me a ticket, as they were staying with me. I declined. Why charge such awesome people to stay with me? I have many spare rooms. They bought me dinner both nights! They had great seats. One of them agreed with me that Rhiannon is 20+ years past being retired from live performance. No dynamics. Dull. Slow. Plodding. Same old. 4 note range.

But they did love seeing Christine again. That would have been nice to see. Sorry I missed that. But I saw her in 77, 80, 82, 87, 90 and 97. Many times. But this is still the same set list. 7 miles from home. Free tickets. Good seats. I said no.

I had a fabulous time with them when they got home, though. We sat by the roaring fire in my house on the hill, and relived our 70's and 80's concert experiences with a full soundtrack of tapes of old LA shows. We talked about how much coke we did back then, and how great those taped performances were. We also debated about how much of Stevie's hair is real these days versus how much of it is a mutli level weave. I won that argument with adundant video evidence. It was a lovely evening.
