Music to live by

I love the Counting Crows. Love love love. Favorite band of all time. And they are coming to Atlantic City for two shows. 1 hour away. TWO shows. I heard this announcement on the radio and my heart started thumping in my chest and I got a little light headed. I love the Counting Crows, you see, and I thought "This is it! I can finally see them in concert!" I started listening to the Counting Crows my freshman year of highschool. The girls and I made music videos to "Mr. Jones" and listened to August and Everything After constantly. But that was in 9th grade (a while ago).

I have only met one other person who shares my passion for Counting Crows, and I know a lot of people. So in my mind I am thinking "I am probably the only one that loves, loves, loves, Counting Crows. I bet the concert will be in a park with $10 lawn seats. I could even let Isaac come with me for $10 a ticket!"

Apparently other people like the Counting Crows too. The first show is sold out. The second show has a few tickets left. All tickets cost $75. No lawn. No $10. No me seeing the Counting Crows. I have listened to This Desert Life at work for three days straight to ease the pain.




On a happier note, The Spice Girls have reunited! In high school, my friends and I listened to the Spice Girls, bought Spice Girls shirts, etc. The tshirts were a joke, but the music is no laughing matter. For years (okay, maybe year) our gifts to one another centered around a Spice Girls theme. Even with our Spice obsession, none of us had a Spice Girls CD (we borrowed one from the boy down the street whenever we needed a fix, go figure). My high school graduation present from Isaac was a Spice Girls CD. He said that he stood in line at the store with this embarrasing CD because he loved me. Awww.
