Raising Sand

Last night I went to see the Raising Sand concert. I know a guy that saw it in Nashville and said it was the best show he has ever seen. Mind you, this guy sees a lot of concerts, so that recommendation from him was huge. So off I went.

The show was great, but what I really wanted to discuss was how freakin' cool Robert Plant is. The man has to be 65, and he was basically doing a glorified chicken dance on stage. But he was still the coolest guy in the world. He did the thing where the he kicks the bottom of the mic stand and holds it upside down and sings into the mic. When some young singer does that move in a club, he looks like a douche. When Robert Plant does it, it is the coolest move you have ever seen.

Seriously. Much like Brad Pitt eating a chili dog in Ocean's 11, Robert Plant does something and infuses it with a level of cool that we normal mortals will never match.

Fourth of July

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love getting together with friends and grilling out. I love the fireworks. This was a good 4th.

I had friends over, grilled Tuscan brick chicken, we played Rock Band, and then watched fireworks in the front yard.

Great day, great day.
