Day 3: Rock 'n' Roll

I just got back from the Pat Benetar concert. It was AWESOME! Her voice is just SO incredible. She's 57 years old, and she sounds the same as she did when she was in her twenties. Her high notes are unbelievable, and her voice is just raspy and wonderful. I also think it's awesome that she's been making a living doing this for so long, straight through her whole life. Props to you, Pat. Also, she and her husband/guitarist Neil Giraldo are adorable together.

Speaking of Neil Giraldo, he threw about a dozen picks out into the crowd, and one happened to land on the ground by my foot! So, I picked it up...haha, no pun intended! Crap, I do that all the time!...and I gave it to my friend Sarah! Because she was about dying, she loves Pat Benetar so much. So it was far more appreciated.

My favorite song she played was "Love is a Battlefield." This isn't usually my favorite Pat Benetar song, but it was great in concert. She also played, "Hell is For Children," which is actually one of my favorite songs by her of all time. I learned that since the day she wrote that in 1980 or 1981, she said she was going to play it at every show until there was no child abuse left. And I think it's awesome that she's still doing that.

So, tonight was very fun! I had a concert high and talked the whole way home. My sister almost killed me. The other two were too nice to do so. Tomorrow is a two hour ride I'm actually looking forward to, because I can roll the windows down and crank some tunes. Tomorrow is also the planned day to trash the Nickelback CD. So stay tuned.
