I can’t go for that. No can do.

Remember when I said there weren’t any bands I really want to see live
(which, I should tell you, I got a world of shit for and I will repeat here that I was not referring to my friends’ bands at all)?

Well, I discovered one.  Hall and Oates.  I’ve seen them a bunch of times before and they’re one of my favorite musical acts of all time (judge not) and they’re playing at Ram’s Head Live in a few weeks and I really want to go but NONE of my friends want to go with me.

Seriously, I put out an APB for a friend to go to the  show with.  Nothing.  Some were busy and some were broke but most snickered.  It’s Hall and Oates, yo!  Best voice out of a white dude ever.  I long-wanted to name my first daughter Sarah just so I could sing Sarah Smile to her. Come on!

I would go with you.  I bet secretly at least one of your friends would too, but they’re too embarrassed to admit it (I’m not a fan of theirs or anything, but just your enthusiasm and the fact that there’s nothing precisely offensive about them except that they did un-cool easy-listening pop during the dreaded 80s…I can hear “because your kiss…” in my head right now, lol.  I liked that one, actually). I hope you’ll be brave and go alone if need be :-)
