Stuck going to see Paul Simon

Jim · 2006-06-15, 06:46 AM

For some unknown reason, he is playing at the Baseball Hall of Fame on the 4th of July. Since out of all the people she likes, Paul Simon is my wife's favorite, so I am stuck going. She calls him a musical genius

Again, I don't get it but, like a good husband, i will be there.

I have never seen so many rules about a concert. But I guess since it's at Doubleday Field, they need to protect it a bit.

Jim · 2006-06-15, 06:49 AM

Just an FYI, after this, I have seen them all. Barbra Streisand, Wayne Newton, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond and even Tony Bennet. I think my wife was born a few years after her time

terry · 2006-06-15, 07:39 AM

Tom Jones... now there's a good one!

Have fun Jim

docholly · 2006-06-15, 08:01 AM

Actually Paul Simon puts on a good show and musically he is pretty genius.

oh wait..IMHO

Is Elton John or George Michael next? I bet you can't wait for that Culture Club reunion tour

The Gay thing would have been seeing Barbra Streisand. Besides me, President Clinton and the old guys dragged there by their wives, I swear every other man was gay

Tom Jones was actually good. And there were even women throwing their panties on stage

Tony Bennet was sad. He should have done like Streisand and had his lyrics on monitors. He forgot the words to most of his own songs.

Be prepaired. I heard last week she got over her stage fright and is doing one last tour again. I had no idea she had stage fright but from what the show said she has not really performed live in over 10 years. Her fans must be jumping threw the roof. Yeah Barbra is comming to town, BARBRA!!!! Oh my gosh!!

We just received notice from the MGM yesterday that there was a class action law suit against her. We paid $2500/ticket to see her in Vegas for her "final" show, December 31st, 1999. And being the Millennium switching over, the rooms were also $2500/night for 2 nights. According to the MGM, if we get on board, we will be seeking all $10k based on her fraudulent advertising of it being her very last show. I think I might do it just because I can't stand her. And I think once it gets out, she will pay for us to just go away.

So you paid $10,000 for two concert tickets? Bloody hell I wouldn't pay that for front row seats at the second coming!

This caused the Scotch I was drinking to come out my nose . . the stinging . . . oh the stinging.

Jim · 2006-06-15, 08:43 AM

ehhh, I am far from excited about it. She tried to get me to go see "Fiddler on the Roof" once but a man has to put his foot down sometime

Greenguy · 2006-06-15, 08:45 AM

Just do what I do when these not-so-manly concerts come to town:

"Here's 4 tickets, take 3 friends & have a good time"

Torn Rose · 2006-06-15, 09:41 AM

I personally would love to see Paul Simon; I’m a huge fan of his. I would also love to see Elton John and Tony Bennet and wouldn’t mind seeing Wayne Newton.

No desire to see Babs...

cosmiccat · 2006-06-15, 09:56 AM

Shit, Jim that's nothing. Actually Paul Simon isn't that bad. A few years ago I got stuck gotng to a Pat Boone christmas concert. Couldn't get out of it without causing a big argument so I went. Jesus, longest 90 minutes of my life.|shocking|

Torn, you're right. An argument would have blown over in a few days but the memories of that concert are with me for life!!

*flashing eyes at torn*... 1/3 of a pm about 30 minutes before showtime would have helped cure those memories..

and I intend to pay big bux again to see Babs.

Sitting through Pat Boone should have gotten you blown 100 times or more. Even asking a man to sit through that deserve some special favors.

I think Paul Simon would be a great show.

I really felt bad for Jim, until I read your post...Pat Boone

emmanuelle · 2006-06-16, 09:08 AM

Paul Simon is here on the 5th for the Jazz fest, the show sold out super fast. We have tix for Tony Bennett on the 30th, but they just rescheduled till Oct 1. The man is 80, I don't know if he will live till Oct.
Also seeing Katie Melua & Matt Dusk during the fest.

I will marry the man who takes me to see Barry though!

Manilow or White?

karomesis · 2006-06-17, 12:15 PM

you may want to review the Geneva convention, I actually think forced viewing of paul simon is outlawed as cruel and unusual punishment.

I once had a freind who was forced by his wife to go to a cher concert......he was never the same after that.
