music is awesome

serisously. i have had the pleasure to attend two amazing shows in one week. foo fighters and jimmy eat world. oh so good. i have been waiting to see these two amazing bands headline a show for many, many years. everytime i had seen them in the past, they were either openers for other headliners, or part of a festival and not given enough time to rock out. both bands put out amazing sets, each making sure to show some love to older fans, all while still pleasing the newer crowds, and neither afraid to play the super hits. experiencing the foo fighters show put me back mentally to my highschool days, when i would just sit around with nothing to do, so i studied the 'the colour and the shape' cd booklet, memorizing the lyrics, wondering if dave grohl wrote 'hey johnny park' about kurt cobain (stupid thought, but thats what all the kids were sayin'). the jimmy eat world show reminded me of when i discovered a new sound of music, and how simply listening to guitar melodies, enhanced by drums and bass can give you shivers from your head to your toes.

each member of both bands rocked their hearts out. i cant imagine how tiring that is! but those leading men...wow. they worked the mic, sounded pristine and rocked out so hard! i was very impressed, and thankful that they still care so much about their fans after so many years of making music. thank you dave and jim.
