In hindsight, perhaps too close to the speakers.<br /><br />I was in the parking lot after the show attempting to start my car. It wouldn't, or so I thought. It actually did start, I just couldn't hear it.<br /><br />Once I figured that part out, the car started shaking side to side. A new mystery appeared.<br /><br />Turns out a friend from high school spotted me and was pounding on my driver side window to get my attention.<br /><br />My world was totally rocked that night, lol.<br /><br />True story!!Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-983254918986777412012-04-16T17:51:26.580-07:002012-04-16T17:51:26.580-07:00True story:

Several years later my university graduation ceremony was held in the same auditorium.<br /><br />I was handed my Comp. Sci. degree by the university president in very nearly the exact same spot where Rob Halford was once "Screaming for Vengence"!<br /><br />Crazy world isn't it?Fritz_Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-63372282129629610172012-04-16T15:17:03.828-07:002012-04-16T15:17:03.828-07:00Fritz_O,

I say that theory is for the <a href="http://youtu.be/W4ga_M5Zdn4" rel="nofollow">Byrds</a>. We've been turning since 2000. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, lol.

On TV a few days ago (history channel?), there was a special on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_Great_Lakes_Storm" rel="nofollow">Great Lakes Storm of 1913</a>.<br /><br />Sunk 19 ships and killed 250. Yikes! The E. Fitzgerald song disturbs me a lot more now than when I listened to it in the 70s. Drowning in freezing water sounds like a terrible way to go.<br /><br />My wife and I visited Superior in the mid-90s in the summer. Even then, the water was freezing, the shores were rocky -- big rocks -- and we were attacked by biting flies.
