I Can't Say No To Eminem and Nate Dogg
I'm going to see a concert this evening with my girl, and I honestly couldn't even tell you one song the artist sings. The tickets for the show are currently selling on ebay for $200, so maybe I should feel bad that there are big fans out there whose place I'm taking up. Someone asked me this morning why I'm even going, when I'm not familiar with any of the music. Two reasons:
- A date night with my girl is a very difficult thing to pass up.
- I. Love. Dancing.
It's a very rare occasion that there is music playing, and I'm not shaking my toosh in the center of the dance floor.
Or maybe even up on a podium somewhere. Really, it's pure entertainment.
Live music just gets me going. Whether it's a DJ, or a band, or a string quartet, I've never had a bad time at a concert. From Dubfire to Kanye West. From SOJA to Darude. From Aerosmith to Jill Scott. From Evanescence to Kenin. Every artist has something to offer my inner sense of rhythm. And thus, it is a rare occasion that I'll turn down a concert invite, no matter who the artist.

I know WHO he is, I just don't really know his stuff. Maybe I'll be familiar once I hear him tonight. Regardless, it's going to be slamming because Kathryn and live music = rock star fun.

Ah - I deleted my post because I didnt read the headline - then I thought "oh, she's seeing eminem & nate dogg" - then I wondered how you didn't know any songs from either.
Now I understand.

Nah - just had "shake that ass" in my head this morning, so it made sense.
Although, it's not out of the realm of possibility. I have a very good friend who is a classical musician who doesn't listen to mainstream music. A year ago we were talking about Eminem and she had to ask me who that was.

James Blunt is hot. Although I don't know if he has much to dance to. But dance anyway.

Can you imagine how awful it would be to be deaf? Music is the best form of therapy in existence!
