Tomorrow night, my old college friend, Paul, and I are going to see Crowded House at the Greek Theater. Both Paul and I were big fans of Crowded House, and its prior incarnation, Split Enz. Both bands played boppy, semi-alternative, music during our college days.

It's been years since I saw a show at the Greek. If memory serves me, the last time I went was with Dave - the guy who had season ticket for the Kings at the Forum that were next to mine. Dave and I would date occasionally - that is until he showed up at one game with a woman and introduced her as his fiance.

Anywhoo, before that occurred, we went to the Greek to see Lynyrd Skynyrd and Ted Nugent - and neither act was in its prime. Most of the key guys from Skynyrd were alread dead, and Ted might as well have been. I expect that there will be less rebel clothing and Confederate flags on stage for the Crowed House show . . .
