Concerts, #2

I'll put them in here as I remember them...here are two more.

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
This concert was their "Islands in the Stream" tour and was pretty good. I've always been a sucker for Dolly's music and Kenny was pretty hot at the time. Who did I go with?...good question. I think it was with Mom, maybe Ken and Steve? Family, anyway. They alternated this concert with solo sections by both Dolly and Kenny and then a duo section. In the round, at the Coliseum.
Kenny & Dolly: B, pretty good, this was the best time for both of them.

Ted Nugent
Oh, what can I say? This one brings back a lot of things..... Camille and I wanted to go see Ted, but her boss had asked if she could stay with his daughter for the night. He and his wife were leaving town for a couple of days. His daughter was 14 so it was really more like, "just so someone's there." We were like, "Dude, that's the same night as Nugent!" (except the "dude" part was just in my head) He agreed that we could just go to the house after the concert and both spend the night. His daughter also had a friend staying over so she wasn't alone which was good. The concert was loud, brash, and high energy - we were buzzing when we left the Coliseum. We got to the boss' house - the two kids were asleep (or at least pretending to be) so we thought "we're too buzzed to go right to sleep, let's go in the hot tub!" "Great idea!" And, while we're at it, "look, I have some weed in my purse, let's take that out with us." "Great idea!" "And, look! There's the liquor cabinet. Let's have a drink while we're out there!" "Great idea!" Neither of us had bathing suits, so we went skinny dipping in the hot tub in the middle of the night, smoking weed and drinking Black Velvet. I remember saying, "Camille, don't let me drown!" because I was so high I could barely function. She'd say, "I'll watch out for you, you watch out for me, OK?" "OK." Jeez, were we stupid....we hot-tubbed, drank and smoked for at least two hours, before we crawled our pruny selves out of the tub and found the beds.
Ted Nugent: A, very high energy, made us do stupid stuff. But it was fun! Hello, glad to be alive.
