And, last week, on the 24th of July, my second Thursday without a trip to Hastings, this is who I saw instead:
It's amazing to me how a 68ish year old man can still make my heart stop. The first time I saw him, I was with my grandma. My mom was supposed to go along, but got the flu, so Aunt Paula went in her place. It was so awesome. It was my first real concert. Ya know what I mean, my first concert somewhere other than a county fair. It snowed that night. It snowed TONS. But inside the arena, it was warm with the sound of Neil's voice and dance moves.
This time, he danced a lot less, but the sound of his voice hasn't changed a bit. And, my mom got to go with me!!! It was so bittersweet. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we screamed. What a wonderful way to remember one of Grandma's (and my) fondest memories and favorite singers!!!
I LOVE NEIL!!!! (As his t-shirts now read: NEIL ROCKS!!!!)

What a great post. I'm so glad that you got to go!
Please tell me that you have seen the movie S@ving Silverm@n? Neil indeed rocks, especially in that flick.
Neil DOES Rock!
