Journey & Toto on 2023-03-21

I have never seen Journey in concert and I have never seen Toto in concert. I have the opportunity to do so on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, which is 154 days (5 months, 3 days) from now.

The Immediate Future

Bang your head! It’s a banner year for ’80s rock and metal in the Twin Cities

What does ** Mean?

On http://www.metalinsider.net/touring/journey-def-leppard-announces-massive-co-headlining-north-american-tour-def-leppards-original-masters-now-streaming, there are 10 tour dates with ** next to the city, but there's no explanation as to what ** means:

All Kinds of Rock (Apparently)

I despise when unintelligent people make decisions that characterize the truth incorrectly. That's exactly what I see on the Free Entertainment website for the Iowa State Fair. An unintelligent person created these genres to assign a genre to the bands that are playing:

---

That is the worst list I've ever seen.

Ever.

First, all the genres that include the word "rock" should be renamed to begin with the word "rock" so that all the "rock" genres are listed together in alphabetical order. This is what the list should look like:

• Rock
• Rock - 80s
• Rock - Christian
• Rock - Folk & Country
• Rock - Pop
• Rock - Southern 

Second, when it came to assigning a genre to the bands, either a second unintelligent person did that work or the same unintelligent person who created the genres did that work. Setting aside the terrible genre names for the moment, I seriously question the assignment of these terrible genres to the bands.

Do you see that? Kix is an "80s Rock" band but Bang Tango & Dokken are not?

1. I listened to Bang Tango's "Psycho Cafe" in 1989, which is when it was released.
2. I listened to Dokken's albums throughout the 1980s, from "Breaking the Chains" to "Tooth & Nail" to "Under Lock & Key" to "Back for the Attack" to their live "Beast from the East" in 1988. There is no reason to not consider them an "80s Rock" band.

Dryer & 7th Grade & BAD as in UGLY Hendrix...

It was a fuse. Simple. Invoice will be sent by the guy and it'll be ~$100. A lot better than a new dryer.
Journey's Separate Ways always makes me think back to 7th grade. I might have mentioned this in some other rambling, but I really think 7th grade was a high point in my life, socially. It seems like when I list, in my head, the girlfriends I "had" or "considered" my girlfriend, the list is extensive. So I just have a really good feeling about 7th grade. Journey's "Separate Ways" was my favorite song. I made a mix tape for a girlfriend after we had broken up (still don't know why!?!?) and this was on the mix tape. I wish I had a) given her the mix tape and b) that I could find the mix tape so I could put *this* version on it....

Better stuff is this jam session, recorded after only 2 hours of playing together!
