An even bigger bang for my buck

As if seeing the Rolling Stones, arguably one of the greatest rock and roll bands EVER, wasn’t enticing enough. The next thing I know, another rock legend, Van Morrison is announced as the Stones’ opening band for their "A Bigger Bang Tour" Vancouver date!

Van Morrison! The Rolling Stones! One night! As my thoughts raced forward to the show, I imagined myself strutting gleefully into B.C. Place with an exuberant entourage of fellow classic rocker friends in tow.

My dream sequence came to an abrupt halt, however, when the consensus from my friends was that the show was “too expensive” and that Mick and the boys were “passed it” and that B.C. Place’s acoustics “suck”. As I listened a barrage of excuses, I roared, “So what! It’s THE STONES for God’s sake! AND Van Morrison, to boot! Are you kidding me?”

As a wave of indignation swept through me, I thought to myself, “That’s okay, Holly, all of those naysayers out there can read my raving review on November 4th to feel what it’s like to miss out on a piece of rock history.”

P.S.- This post is dedicated to my mother, Dylan Falconer, and some random guy from the Internet, all of whom have tentatively agreed to join me for the show.
