March 2007... The Month That Will Be Hard To Beat
I wish my prose were as witty as Nicky J's, but it's not. But here we go anyway...
So Bob Seger is pretty much the shit, right? He is from Ann Arbor/Detroit and has played a concert in house in which I dwell. His song "Mainstreet" is rumored to talk about the street about a mile or so to the west of where I sit and write this. I have heard arguments that this would be cool were it 1978 or some other year around that period, that Bob Seger has not been relevant in over 20 years... Yeah, so? I have not farted in like 5 minutes, but that one I let go back then is sure relevent. Not to compare Bob Seger to a fart, I was talking about the power they both controlled and the cone of influence they both initiated. My gas caused someone to leave the room; Bob Seger caused millions of people to enjoy some kick ass tunes. So, in a way, Bob Seger is like a fart; but he would be a fart that smelled like sweat, Michigan soul, awesomeness, and coolality.
Okay, I am not really sure what happened in that last paragraph, but I'm gonna keep going.
The reason these topics are intertwined, is that both happen in March of 2007. Bob Seger will tour through on the 13th and the other event will happen on the 23rd. What is it you ask? The most anticipated film of the centurty... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! (a link here goes to the trailer). Need I say more?
Alright, I had some high expectations for this post... but I slowly realized that no one really cares about the things that I do. So even if I have to go to both alone, I will. Screw all of you. I'm gonna go eat some Orea Pie. At least I have that on Nicky J! Hahahaha.

you blog Stevie? and btw only dbag lawyers get to put Esq. after their name.
Steve, I'm going to talk to Shannon. She routinely encounters geriatrics in the Ann Arbor area, and there's gotta be a Seger fan or two or ten among them. I'll hook you up.
Otherwise, TMNT is awesome. And so is "Orea Pie." You're a bastard for holding that over me.
Hey, I would like to make an edit to this last post. Today I had my alignment (or my car's actually) done at a Tuffy store. The interesting aspect of this is that before the Tuffy was put up, an A&W had to be demolished. What's the big deal? This was the A&W at which Seger wrote Night Moves and he gave them a replica golden record signifying selling a shitload of copies of Night Moves. Cool, huh?
I say, keep those old records on the shelf.
There's no getting around the fact that there will be 99.99999999% people born in the 1950s at any Bob Seger concert.
My music might not have the same soul, but at least I can ogle hot chicks around my age in between stints in the mosh pit.
Dave, you are so funny. I also like your joke about ever being in a mosh pit. We all know the only one of us that has been in a mosh pit is Nick when that one mysteriously appreared around him at Ozzfest.
Also, since my brother and I and 2 other people are going (none of whom were born in the 50's, you must be saying that there will be about 400 million people (do your own math) there if us 4 are the only "underagers". Now David, Bob Seger is sweet, but I don't think he could sell out a 400 million person venue. Though I am sure he appreciates the compliment.
