Did she wear flowers in her hair?
I got my tickets for the tour, I think they are here this month.
On a side note, I went to a Matchbox 20 concert tonight (great group, superb vocalist in Rob Thomas), and the opening act was the L.A. band "Sugar Ray".
I like Sugar Ray's music, they've strung together some very catchy Top 40 ditties these past few years, and I was pleasantly surprised at the energy, musicality, and performance by the band's lead singer Mark McGrath...I was FLOORED when, as he introduced their biggest hit to date "Fly", he stops, and makes a little speech.
I can't quote him word by word, but he said that he was on tour, and watching the news when he saw some Marines overseas singing his song, and that he has never been prouder of anything in his life, then he said that he came from Hollywood, but that he did not believe in the garbage spouted by the Tim Robbins', the Susan Sarandon's and the other "Hollywood types" and that he was dedicating this song to the American men and women "out there like a wall of freedom, protecting us all" so that we could have "freedom, and opinions", and "all that stuff all those people out there don't believe in", then I think he said "F them", but the crowd was going wild by then.
He then said "God Bless our Troops" and ripped into the song.
It was great.
Tell Mom to buy some Sugar Ray CD's.
