Classic Concert Reviews: Jim Croce, Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, TX, 1973

 

 

Albums and concerts aren’t merely sounds so much as signposts. Songs and performances mark rites of passage. They are accompanying soundtrack to our lives. Here’s a continuation of my writing series of mostly brief concert reviews, including I remember about various shows, performances, and events over the years. Some reviews will be short, while others will be longer and more detailed. It all depends on what I can remember and what research is available on those old concert dates. I hope you enjoy reliving these experiences with me.

Classic Concert Reviews: Charley Pride, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque, NM, 1971

Note: Here’s my new writing series of mostly brief concert reviews and what I remember about various shows, performances, and events over the years. Some reviews will be short, while others will be longer and more detailed. It all depends on what I remember and what research is available on those old concert dates. I hope you like reliving these experiences and enjoy the remembrances along with me.

 

Albums and live concerts are not merely sounds as much as they are signposts. Certain songs and performances mark a rite of passage and do become the accompanying soundtrack to our lives.

The first live concert I remember attending was a Charley Pride performance in 1971.

Ask Me Anything (Video)

Today, I did a one-hour vlog with readers asking lots of interesting questions.

Every topic was open for discussion but I ran out of time and couldn’t get to them all.

A few topics:

— best music concerts

— Anthony Bourdain suicide

— new “Top Gun” movie

— sports betting

— good cheap wines

— the perfect day

— what would I do if I was NFL Commissioner?

— 2022 midterm election predictions

— what’s wrong with baseball

— will Joe Biden run again in 2024?

….and more.

Note there are some tech glitches.  Skip the first two minutes of setup.  Things get rolling after a few minutes.

Pissed-Off About High Gas Prices? Thank Capitalism!

 

 

 

Hey, all you dick-dumb capitalists!  You love the free market, right?  You want the government to stay out of business, right?  Well, now you got what you wanted.  Oil plunderers are raping you for profit and now you — I’m laughing hysterically here — demand the government “do something?”  Pick a side, dumb fucks.  Take a poli-sci class and figure out where you stand.  You either want corporations to be able to dictate pricing and screw the working class, or you want the government to be the intermediary.  Pick a side.  Shit or get off the pot.  Read a book.  Try to figure out which philosophy you espouse.  You can’t be a capitalist and now bitch about gas prices.  You can’t have it both ways.
