I went to a Niel Diamond concert! Yes, I repeat...went to a Niel Diamond concert. My wifes good friend is a big ND fan....the friend and her husband asked us to join last minute...it was a couples thing ya know and I don't think it ended up costing me much so what the hell? Sure, we are somewhat the older crowd (late 30's / hitting 40) but I always have and still faithfully listen to Metal...even more now than when I was much younger. I figured it was a nite out, have some beers....make the most of it.
Well, it really becomes a pain in the ass when just upon entering the Worcester DCU Center...nobody can find our tix? WTF! So the guys hoof it back to the car and search it...retrace our steps etc...still no tix? The wives call our cells from inside the arena saying they have found tix in pocket-books etc...of course they are already in WITH OUR FUCKIN TIX AS WELL and we are left hang'n outside. Thats when us guys should have hit the nearest bar...but we ended up catching up at the door and went inside for the show.
Now Niel Diamond, I can atleast recognize is a worldclass successful entertainer...but sitting through that show was truly living hell! Especially throughout the show I had this old Jewish guy on my other side who kept dozing off and fallin asleep on my shoulder-I shit you not! All the while his wife, every fuckin 3-seconds, kept nudging him and me for that matter to wake up! I can atleast laugh about it now, but ABSOLUTELY THE MOST UN-METAL MOMENT YOU COULD IMAGINE!?!
