Last night my wife, SIL and I went to the Billy Joel at Citizens Bank Park. Don't laugh but I think the last concert I went to was Johnny Mathis at Westbury music theatre. Maybe twenty years ago. We leave 2 hours early - it is normally less than a half hour drive. The always classy Miley Cirus is playing next door so we are worried about traffic...(My god the outfits those teeny boppers were wearing?) We discuss how we are glad our daughter doesn't care for her um 'style'.

Parking $25 dollars? Wait a minute didn't I just shell out nearly $200 a seat? Now you want another $25. After the robbery we park and wander in. Three beers $36!!! Now I know why people were tail gating - eat and drink now or be robbed.. And to top it off no Yuengling! Am I mistaken but isn't this Pennsylvania? So here we are sitting on the ground floor in tiny seats with a bunch of hyped grays -complete with the occasional hearing aides. My people. There was what I remember to be the typical concert behavior but very subdued. Billy unexpectedly let the crowd finish one of his songs. I saw a tear come to his eyes ( I guess he was thinking they still love my stuff).

I bought what I thought were good tickets - yeah I'm a a big spender with a wrist band with ground floor seats. I soon discover if you sit at ground level your stand for the two hour concert? My knees start talking to me after the first half hour...
I'll know better next time that would be in 2034.

So what about Billy? One word: fabulous, just fabulous..
