Just got the news Michael Jackson has passed away at age 50 years old. I'm in shock we have all grown up with his music and witnessed his changes, antics and peculiar behavior.
Hard to believe that someone who was such a 'Peter Pan' figure and never seemingly grew up has past. Have to chalk up another legend that I never will witness to hear perform 'live'.
He was despite his personal shortcomings a genuis ! My daughter Amber just recently bought tickets to see him in London, Michael was a person who spanned generations - just amazing
Micheal I trust you are up there making beautiful music and you are understood.
"I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away"

Zoobilation
As we walked through the entrance flanked by an Elephant, Snake, Iguana and other assorted animals. We entered the Zoo and of course realised the real animals were the ones dressed like penguins in dinner suits and evening gowns.
This was a gala evening in the open air with 80+ of Indys finest food and a open bar serving just about everything. For this event, glam was important but just as critical were good shoes as you wondered through the zoo tasting small portions while juggling a glass or two. There were a number of bands strategically placed around the grounds, you couldn't help but wonder what the normal residents thought of all this commotion.
The foot massage one of three options at a SPA and was a welcome stop along this route. As the crowd increased the pace you moved accelerated to a crawl, thus there was little danger of getting too tipsy. It was all for a good cause: the Zoo's largest fund raising event. Thanks for John and Jessie for being our chaperone's.

Snow Patrol needed for COLDPLAY
Sounds and music are a great medium to reset us all and after the end of a work week what better than a outdoor concert.
Last night night we were treated to some life in Technicolour at a COLDPLAY concert. They were fabulous and we noted that compared to the James Taylor, Elton John, Billy Joel audiences we attended there was a minus -20 to -30 years demographic.
COLDPLAY are a great stage band and give a really audience concert. They moved from center stage twice to smaller outlying stages to be closer to their audience. From my limited exposure to this band I seemed to know most of their songs, but I could sense the 'greatness' that this group possesses. The band has a stage sense, energy and a distinctive sound that is easy on the ears.
I've got no doubt that COLDPLAY will be in the legend category when they decide to "hang up" their boots. Hey guys Thanks also for the free recession buster CD (LeftRightLeftRightLeft) that is a nice gesture !

We were pleased to also get a double treat of COLD with Snow Patrol the support group! Snow Patrol is a good band and while not in the same frigid zone is nevertheless worth seeing.
