Upcoming Concerts = Time Machine

[JRhoBurton]

I never thought I would be sitting here in 2016, in my 60s, and see these artists listed in the paper for local concerts this summer (in order of appearance):

Steely Dan
Steve Winwood
The Monkees
Boston
Emmylou Harris
Boz Scaggs
James Taylor
Dolly Parton
Willie Nelson
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Pat Benatar
Steve Miller Band
Journey
Doobie Brothers
Jackson Browne
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Heart
Joan Jett
Cheap Trick
Blondie
Black Sabbath
Def Leppard
REO Speedwagon

Of course, many of the original members have moved on, some to the big concert hall in the sky. Skynyrd only has Rossington left. But still, this is amazing. Will this be the peak season for time travel to music past?

Enjoy, that's quite a lineup. I'm happy to have a ticket to see Paul Simon next week.

Simon is in the list, too, can't believe I missed that! Coming up soon, May 22.

They better get it while they can.
Didn't I read somewhere that for the first time the baby boomer generation is in the minority now? Like Jim use to sing. Oh well, so much for five to one...
I'm at the tail end and mom & dad's first born,1947.

I'm pissed that the Steely Dan concert opening the Hollywood Bowl season is already sold out after only 2 day on sale - prices were below $60/ticket. I've never had a chance to see them. However, did get tickets to see Sergio Mendes at the Bowl in August for a 50 year Bossa Nova/Career concert with guests Lani Hall and Herb Alpert.

I'm working many of these shows. Paul Simon was sold out before tickets to the public went on sale.
