Near the end of the school year one of my colleagues came to me with a DVD set that she thought I might enjoy. The show was called Freaks and Geeks , and she described it as a cross between the Wonder Years and Dazed and Confused. She told me to take it over the summer, and if I got a chance to watch it when I had some free time. I had not heard of the show, and during the course of my vacation I had almost completely forgotten that I had the set in my possession. This we... MORE

So I've talked about my first concert. Lets go to the second one. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (the classic lineup). 1981. Michigan State Fair Grounds. Support from......the Beach Boys. My grandparents took me to the fair every year as early as I can remember until approximately 16 when I just couldn't be cool enough there.

...I never got into Paul Fieg and Jason Apatow's Freaks and Geeks when it first aired back in '99 as I was busy making the change from playing tunes on the road to staying put in Atlanta and working a full time day gig as a cook-- I spent the majority of my spare time checking bands at the Point, while swilling pints at the Yacht Club or disco-ing over at the Star Bar on Tuesday nights-- so watching the tube wasn't high on the priorities list... ...I didn't get turned on...

Listening to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' new album "Sinners" and pleased to report that she hasn't mellowed with age. Good, catchy rock with plenty of attitude. Plus, from what I've seen Joan is looking fantastic for her age, which is variously reported as 42, 45 and 47. Apparently they are on tour this summer. Rock on, sister!
