Blowing Kisses For Helping Us Recuperate Tax Money at the Stone’s Show

Hong Kong

I promised my friends (Mike and Roberta) to very publicly thank two people for helping us sneak into the ultra expensive (not the Uber expensive) ticket section of the Sunday Rolling Stone Concert. (I have no shame. It was OUR tax money too).

First is Josh front man and guitarist from “Whence He Came” because he loudly said, “I left the Neil Young show after four songs. I was so bored.” Which made me to blurt out, “That was my best rock concert ever!” and him replying, “Well you haven’t been to many very good ones obviously.” Which prompted Mike (We think you are Mike) to come over and defend me in my unabashed adoration of the grandfather of grunge and just a great artist.

This lead to a great conversation of bands and people he saw and met in his youth. (Oh, like…the Sex Pistols, and Led Zeppelin.) And just as the concert started he gave us his ticket stub so we could sneak in. We didn’t really have time to say a proper “THANK YOU!” Which I am doing now (I hope someone knows him, he was wearing an England football jersey and used to work for Richard Branson). We tried finding you at the end, but it was impossible.

But really, from three music fans to one, we really appreciated you recognized the fact we were there for the music and nothing else (or the very least, took pity in our financial situation).
