Get Up-ah! Get On Up!

James Brown turned 70, and he's playing somewhere locally. If I could only figure out what that damn "Backwards Oldie" is, maybe I could win tickets. This morning it was a song I'd never even heard before, which is very rare. Last Friday it was "Feels So Nice" by Chuck Mangione, and I totally knew it, but I didn't know the phone number to call. Figures. What I really want tickets to is Boston, though. That would be awesome. It's amazing how many old rock 'n' roll acts are playing this summer. Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Dio, KISS, Aerosmith, Peter Gabriel, Poison, Skid Row, Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers...

Ooh, The Fab Faux are playing at Irving Plaza this month! Now, that would be neat. I hear they're a great Beatles tribute band.
