Disappointing Concert News

I'm not happy about these two things:


1. Do you know who's opening for U2 when I see them in October? "The Black Eyed Peas". No offense to any Pea fans out there but I don't like their music and don't want to have to sit through it. Yuk.




2. I was so excited to hear that the original members of Bad Co. (minus Boz Burrell who died in 06) are doing a brief tour this summer. But my excitement was short lived when I checked the schedule:

They aren't coming West! Dang it! I am disappointed.

Paul from Bad Co.

Bad Company was an instant hit worldwide. They were on the "Swan Song" label started by Led Zep. Their 1974 self-titled debut went platinum five times over! Every song on that record was great. Paul Rodgers was nicknamed "The Voice" for good reason. Does anyone know what they are up to today? I'll check it out soon and report back.

Personal note:
In 1975 I got was in an end-over end collision as the passenger of a "Grand Am". I was knocked unconscious and when I woke up the first thing I heard was Bad Co. singing "I feel like making love to you". Then I noticed I was in the back seat staring up at the steering wheel. So every time I hear that song, I don't think of making love, but I do thank God I am still around to enjoy good music :)

Bad Co.

Bad Company - Rock and Roll at It's Best!

Takes me back to the 70's. Reminds me of my sister. "Shooting Star" is the best song about being a rock star ever written...could have been written about Kurt Cobain.
