good morning!
I write you today’s hoddle about 45 minutes before I have to head to the aiport, because I didn’t plan ahead.
Why am I heading to the airport? Well, I’ll be heading to Colorado to catch The Rolling Stones live in concert.
I’ve never seen the Stones live. It’s one of those “bucket list” things for me (even though I’m hopefully at least four or five decades away from kicking the bucket). I was supposed to see them back in 2020 but, well you know.
I love the Stones. I grew up listening to them. And it wasn’t until going through the bulk of their discography again that I realized just how many hits they have.
Even before going into the 1970s I think they had Get Off My Cloud, Paint It Back, Satisfaction, Let’s Spend the Night Together, Under My Thumb, 19th Nervous Breakdown and more. That’s enough for almost any other band to tour on for the rest of their lives.
But the Rolling Stones continued with albums like Let It Bleed, Some Girls, Beggars Banquet, Goats Head Soup and, many years later, Hackney Diamonds.
So yeah, I’m pretty stoked for this concert. And, of course, I’ll provide a concert review next week. Until then, enjoy your Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
