| Creed and Crue Fest |
Let me start by saying that I was skeptical about Creed. I bought the ticket mainly because it was cheap and something to do. I am not now, nor was ever a big fan. And, they proved me wrong.
The powerful vocals of Scott Stapp probably didn't even need a microphone to carry itself across the venue. Absolutely amazing... Eric Friedman is a touring guitarist and not only was he good, but he is also very down to earth....follow him on twitter : @IIEROCKII I really quite enjoyed the show, and am not disappointed that I saw them, and truly think that we can expect great things from Creed in the future. Welcome back to the music, Creed.
Now, onto Crue Fest 2:
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to see all of the bands associated with Crue Fest 2. I did, however, get to see Godsmack and Motley Crue.
Godsmack put on an AMAZING show. Excellent drum solo/duet, excellent stage show, and they didn't miss anything. Absolutely perfect execution of every song.
Motley Crue on the other hand, well.... It was great to watch them live, they are, after all, legendary; first there was a rumor here that Tommy Lee wasn't even planning on showing up. Then he DID show up. That shows me that Crue is really a synonym for the words "publicity whores". Then, I mean granted, it is THEIR music; and, I am sure somehow that gives them the right to perform it any way they want. But, Vince has a real bad habit of skipping lyrics here and there. Is it cockiness, ignorance, or just the plain fact that maybe, just maybe, they have become or are becoming has beens?
As for the musical end of it, they band itself played pretty good.
I do carry the joy of knowing I can say "Hey, I saw Crue LIVE". Again, remember, they ARE legendary, however, to be honest, if it weren't for the accompanying bands on the tour, I wouldn't have spent the money. And it only cost $10.

| ~Coming Soon~ |
I have had the great opportunity to check out a few very awesome bands this summer, Including Creed and Motley Crue. I am going to write my thoughts on the shows and what not as soon as I collect them and analyze my internal musical data. So, with that being said, sometime within the next 24 hours or so, there will be a blog about all of the shows I have seen thus far, and which has made it into the Chrissyisms Summer Concert Hall of Fame...
Stay Tuned...

| Once Upon a Time ©2009 Chrissyisms |
Once upon a time there were days when the snowfall was enlightening. Perhaps even exciting. The cold weather wasn't very bothersome, and the skies still a pale blue. The ships on the ocean, though few, still sailed and the smell of the school bus wasn't so bad.
Once upon a time the sun came out with a cheep from a bird's beak, slight green had turned the trees, and the rain was as cleansing to the earth as a current is to a river.
Once upon a time the sun shared a warmth that only one could find deep within their soul. Flowers were bloomed, music was played, and a kiss was shared. There was cotton candy sold everywhere, along with dough boys and clam chowder, and the sunset was as beautiful as can be.
Once upon a time the leaves began to change, to a vibrant array of colors, as the school bells ring yet again as I stepped into the room full of books and gloom. The trending topic of the moment was the costume to wear, and on Halloween I would go with whom.
Once upon a time...a sweet, sweet time...I remember with everything I do. And why do I remember these things so well, why are they forever in my heart? Because, once upon a time, there was you.
*gosh...wasn't life a whole lot easier at fourteen?*

| Dreams |
Dreams
I know you, though we've yet to meet.
I've seen you in my dreams.
I've heard your voice a million times,In the currents of the streams.
I've seen the glow of your smile
In the heat of dawn's rays.
I've felt your warmth inside my soul I've felt your warm embrace.
I love the way you make me feel,You occupy my mind.
I know one day it is true love
That which we both will find.
My days last so very long
They never seem to end.
I cannot wait for the night
To dream of you again.

| What does any of it mean anyway? |
I have to be honest. I have not given much personal attention to health care reform. It really is unlike me to not pay attention to things that will effect me, especially in the way of government reform in any way. However, I am so tired of hearing about this, and other things, I put a mental block on, and continue to go on with my everyday life.
So, now that I am here, let's explore this a little bit. I watched this video: http://www.healthreform.gov/video/weeklyaddress072509.html and have to be honest, I feel the President was right on track.
Ok, again, I have not checked into it until now, but if what he says in this video is true, then, I would like some of his opponents on this to post a comment, nice ones, please, and tell me why you think this is a bad idea. In fact, all of your thoughts are welcome. Let's have a discussion.
