A friend and colleague here on the coaching team has a daughter who's hooked up with a rising-star-type rock band. So last night I found myself with backstage passes to a Kid Rock / Puddle of Mudd concert at a local outdoor music arena. This is not generally my first choice of how to spend a free Saturday night, but it was a pretty cool experience. I enjoyed what there was to enjoy, overlooked what needed to be overlooked, and had a good time. We were seated by the guys running the sound board, lights and pyrotechnics, so it was even more fun.
I still have my backstage pass, if anyone thinks I should auction it off on e-bay.
For those of you who might be worried about whether my life is in the process of taking an abrupt turn to another course, it may be reassuring to learn that I came home and listened with great delight to the Saint-Saens Organ Concerto before I went to bed.
