Live Living Life
Krüde been
kinda sad for 13 months. My favorite (non sexual) pastime is going to see rock
bands play live. When the worldwide pandemic grabbed the Earth by the
nuts in early 2020, socialization quickly became a distant memory. No
more gathering at a club or bar. Or eating at a restaurant. Or anything that
involved being social. Seemed like a twisted scheme by cell phone makers
and Jeff Bezos to keep us from diddling with each other. And buying
their online shit en masse. Dark days for sure. Fuck the year 2020. Let Iron
Sheik suplex the jabroni of a year away.
Now getting to the good stuff. I saw not one but THREE live
shows recently. Some comedy with Bob Saget. Some acoustic covers in a lounge
by a middle aged crooner. And some REAL rock n’ roll with a tribute show for
the late Walter Lure. All of which were top notch.And totally socially
distanced. Bob Saget was hilarious. Even called his old buddy from Full
House tv show John Stamos from the stage on his cell phone. I didn’t
bother taking any pics during Bob’s show. I just wanted to laugh with my chick for
90 minutes. The acoustic cover guy was playing a rock and country mix
with a guitar. He was performing in a lounge near the Hard Rock Hotel casino
in Atlantic City. Had all of us singing along to Johnny Cash and Neil
Diamond classics. Good stuff.
And finally to the Walter Lure tribute show in NYC. If
I have to tell you who Walter Lure is, don’t bother asking. Walter died last
year of cancer. Since the pandemic shut down live music for a year, the tribute
arrived when it could. And it ROCKED. All of Walter’s songs were performed by
former band mates and guest singers. The Bowery Electric club hosted the
show. It was very strange being in a socially distanced night club with a band
roaring. But my ass was grooving to the tunes from the box above the stage
where I was seated. The Jack Daniels on the rocks that kept getting
delivered to my booth made any and all physical pain (a recently torn muscle in
lower back) from bothering me. Fun time.
Do what you can to see a live show of any nature NOW. Be
safe. And you will have a great time. Guaranteed. Krüde approved activity. Now
get to it!
Love
Peace
