'09 was fine! That's my chant for the end of the year. Here's what happened in personal music in '09:
I went to three of the Riverfront Times top ten concerts: Guster/Live on the Levee, Coldplay, and Leonard Cohen (Number One! Number One!)
January:
Pete Seeger led a group singalong of "This land is your land" at the inauguration
Gary missed a five-day long concert because he forgot his passport
February:
Steven Page left BNL
March:
Bought a steel drum, which is currently doing double-duty as a sock catcher.
April:
Big Red G concert
All American Rejects concert
May:
Elton John / Billy Joel concert
June:
Carbon Leaf concert
Bought a bass
July:
Watched Mama Mia, horrible
Coldplay concert
Leonard Cohen concert announced
Guster concert
August:
Nothing! And it was my birthday month and all. Tellingly, this is the month I got sick.
September:
Lions of Hazelwood concert
October:
BNL in Vegas
November:
Leonard Cohen concert
Bruce Hornsby concert
December:
Cowboy Mouth concert comes in just under the wire. This must be one of the few times Gary and I have left the house on NYE. I think the last time was during the Y2K turnover when he had to go to work.
Clearly, I need a monthly concert. BNL is on tour this coming year, so that'll be handy.
You too hated Mama Mia. My Queen!
And I saw that movie It's Complicated last night with Meryl playing herself (irritating)and that hairy meatsack Alec Baldwin playing himself (ugh) .
Six dollars I could have spent elsewhere (senior discount).
I guess we now all have to go out and remodel our kitchens.

Hattie - Mama Mia was so unspeakable! Didn't they even look at the daily prints? And I have begun to deeply dislike Meryl because she does not have a double chin.

Meryl has paid well for her lack of double chin. Trust or no, her only real crime is picking "fun" roles for her later years.
