I did this last night with John Waite, Foreigner, and Styx.


In my younger years, I would have arrived early and been the last to leave.

Adding, when you reconsider a GA ticket because there is nowhere to sit down... Heck of a show, btw!

Good one! I'm still laughing.

Truth though: There were a lot of 30 to 40 year olds rocking out and knowing the lyrics. So....

When Wifey and I saw The Moody Blues a few years ago, we were in the lower end of the age range. I was in my late 50s then and Wifey was in her late 40s. Lots of former hippies there.

I saw the Moodies at The Spectrum in Philly many moons ago. Got high just from inhaling the air.

You know you’re getting old when you have upstairs ibuprofen
and downstairs ibuprofen.

I took Advil (ibuprofen-200mg) for about two weeks. Half a tablet in the morning and half in the evening for back pain. Now I have very dark stools and have to go see a gastroenterologist. The fun never ends.

Tried to reply to your PM; still says you're not accepting. Go to your settings and check.

You know you're *really* old when you have a base camp and midway camp on a flight of stairs, stocked with oxygen tanks and sleeping facilities.....

I had to stop for a different reason. The stuff gives me hives.

Loved climbing the rope in the gym. Our coach marked the rope with
tape at the 10 foot level as a “that’s high enough” but I always climbed
right up to the beam the rope was fastened to. Coach watched, but never
told me to stop. However, my coach did tell my dad on parent’s visit day
that it worried him a bit. That was about the only thing I was good at
in P.E. Got C’s in all the other sports activities.

I was shocked to see two other kids that looked pretty much like me race each other to the top without using their feet at all. It took 15 pull-ups for an 'A', and that pair did those like ratta-tat-tat. It probably took me more than a minute to do 5 for my 'C'.

Thanks for the horrible memories!

The gym rope and cargo net climbs were the only "F" grades on an assignment that I ever received in high school. I made it up in the stupid state agility tests, where I was #1 in the class. The gym teacher accused me of fudging my score the first year, and made me do it again while he and the whole class watched in disbelief. Walking to school every day (uphill both ways) came with a side benefit of incredible leg strength.....
