was at the club last night. the band finally played more classic rock. been telling them to do those numbers since they started playing at the place from early january.

hey, this place is up-market. young punks don't come here -- they can't afford it. the crowd is 30+ with ready cash to burn. they're here to get drunk and remember good old times. good old time is when they were growing up with nazareth, deep purple, dire straits, the eagles, ozzy osbourne, pink floyd, whitesnake, scorpions, and all. why play today's r&b?

after telling them that, the band had tried one or two classic rock numbers and the crowd sang along at the top of their lungs and brought the house down. but the band still went back to the newer numbers. sheesh!

sadly, this is the last week the band is performing there. anyway, i made a special request for them to play dire straits. they obliged and dedicated sultan of swings to me.
