You should have posted this for DLW to read over under "Solving the Problem of Evil." If ever there was proof that we got a problem to sovle, it's the Blues Brothers being at the MN Music Cafe and me NOT being there!

Check out some Robert Johnson rather than those imposters. If ever there was a sign that God does not exist, it would be such non-existant talent. GhostBusters was good but it was what, 20 years ago... BTW, they are not the Blues Brothers, unless John has risen from the dead. A definite one shot act that has worn out all of its novelty.

He was with us for over five years and he was an adult when we got him. I'm not sure how old that is in frog years, but I think it's pretty old. We buried Boo in the backyard. He is survived by two newts who shared his habitat, shortly to be relocated to the Mississippi River.

I can remember standing on top of an overpass and looking down below at all these police cars speeding out on the road beneath us, chasing that now famous old police car turned Blues-mobile.

DLW, I'm glad I got this in the right category. I was a little worried. 
Honorman, Honorman, Honorman. That's the same thing my husband said! Well, he didn't recommend Johnson, but close. I think Akroyd can still be entertaining, and the back up band is going to be kickin'!
Electra, I'm sorry to hear about Boo. The frog was truly one of God's beauties.

It makes me wonder if I'll even be able see the band from the general admission seats. But sometimes when you're on a mission to have fun, it just doesn't matter.

 Date Joined Feb 2003 Total Posts : 1252 | Posted 6/9/2003 6:42 AM (GMT -6) |   | How was everyone's time at the concert? Here's what I wrote to my family. I just copied and pasted it here.
My friend, Mary and I went to the Minnesota Music Cafe in St. Paul for the "Have Love Will Travel" concert. We actually should have gone later than we did because we got there right when it started at 6:00. Earlier actually. There were 3 opening bands that played first and D. Aykroyd and J. Belushi and their band came out at 10:30.
It was an outdoor block party concert. I had thought it would be indoors, but it wasn't so there were no seats because it was in the parking lot. So, everyone had to stand around. There was a grassy area on a hill off to the side where Mary and I sat for a few hours among others who had the same idea. The cafe had volunteer St. Paul firefighters grilling food and other people serving food and drinks, so I got a chicken sandwich and Sprite and Mary got a steak sandwich and Coke.
There were a lot of people there who looked like bikers(motorcycle people) - very tough and rugged-looking in a lot of black leather and denim. But, everyone was really nice. Actually, most of the people were probably in their late 30's and older. Once it got closer to the time when Aykroyd and Belushi were to come on stage, Mary and I made our way as close to the stage as possible. Unfortunately so did everyone else so we were really crammed in there. It was irritating because there was this big, overweight couple to my left who were making out and swaying to the music and bumping into me. And there was a couple in front of me with the guy behind the woman swaying to the music and I had trouble seeing past his head. The people behind us would yell and bump into to us every so often, too. Someone stepped on my foot. Mary said someone spilled beer on hers. And some people were smoking so that was irritating, too. We were really close to some speakers, so it was loud and after the fifth song I was experiencing sensory overload so I asked Mary if she didn't mind leaving, and she didn't care so at 11:30 we left. I guess I'm already getting too old for the concert scene.
I also didn't appreciate it when they asked a few girls from the audience to go up and dance. A couple of them were dressed rather scantily in tight revealing tops and one of them danced a bit too provacatively for my taste. I didn't pay a whole paycheck for two tickets to see that! It's insulting to those of us women who are made to feel like we're supposed to do stuff like those girls did to be cool and fit in.
But, aside from all that, it was nice to see Aykroyd and Belushi in person.

Oops! It wasn't a whole paycheck. That's sounds rather extravagent. It was only almost a day's pay. I should have caught that before I posted it.
