My weekend started on Wednesday night with the highly awaited Pearl Jam Concert which I think was great. Kings of Leon a quartet of siblings from Tennessee, kicked off the night with their progressive Southern-rock tunes, including Crawl, Fans, Molly's Chambers, On Call and Charmer and they rocked (Thank You Marianne from Texas, for telling all about K.O.L and taking the time to send me their CD’s)
Pearl Jam chose a semi-obscure song selection Wednesday night at a sold-out Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. Fans cheered predictably song after song but were left grumbling and empty when hits like: Jeremy, Black, Daughter and Elderly Women behind the Counter where passed. Only the passionate fans left thrilled. The rest left questioning their puzzling song selection.
Friday I was definitely In Love with “The Cure" especially with Robert Smith* at the Bank Atlantic Center. It was simply phenomenal. Yes, they played the classics. They also plugged some of their new stuff which is pretty cool. That was by far one of the most amazing concerts I have ever attended, and I have gone to many.
So many different people are a part of this universe that we occupy. As The Cure played on I sat in awe of the eyeliner wearing teens, the alcohol drinking middle agers-and the rest of us. The world is vast I thought- As they magnificently sang Pictures of You and I remembered how much I use to listen to that song when I was in 10th grade (yes you read right 10th grade) and I wondered…
“If only I had thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart if only I'd thought ofthe right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you”.
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
