Author’s Note: The Wednesday Night Music Club will take place on Thursday this week. That would make it rather inaccurately named but there is a reason for it. I’m going to start my recap of the 2007 concert schedule tomorrow and one show can only be explained via a YouTube clip. It will be the coolest thing ever, just trust me on this.
There are a few concerts coming to town that I need to discuss. I have spent the past month without a single Ticketmaster order so I think I’m going through withdrawal. But there are some shows coming up that just astound me.
The first is that Blind Melon is coming to town in March. Yes, that Blind Melon. The one with the Bee Girl in the video. You haven’t heard much of them recently as their lead singer died from an overdose, I don’t know, around a decade ago. But they are reuniting and touring for a reason that I still can’t quite get my head around. Unless Shannon Hoon is somehow able to make what would literally be a miraculous comeback I don’t quite see why anyone would go to this show.
On the other hand we have what has become a Valentine’s Day tradition in Kansas City. Once again you have no need to think up a grand plan for the big day because the ultimate event is already booked. Yes; Valentine’s Day; Harrah’s Casino; Air Supply. This is the third straight year that Air Supply is playing here on Valentine’s Day. I think the show has sold out each of the past two years.
Now I’ll admit that I am not that well versed in the school of romance. I’m working on it (as my owning of The Mystery Method clearly indicates) but I can’t call myself an expert on what will melt a woman’s heart. Maybe all I need to do is go up to someone and go, “Hey babe, Valentine’s Day. You, me, Air Supply. We’ll even hit the Sizzler cause that’s how I roll.” For all I know it’s really that simple. True, I’d still have to sit through an Air Supply concert but given that from what I can gather relationships consist of mainly sitting through uncomfortable situations politely nodding while waiting for the other person to finally stop talking I think the concert would be good practice.
My other choice for Valentine’s Day is Tesla. Who are apparently still together. I have no idea if this will be a five man acoustic jam or not. You’re pretty low on the metal totem pole when you get down to Tesla, which seems to make them an even odder choice for a booking on the big night. If you won someone’s heart with a Tesla song they probably settled in for a life of monotony a long time ago. You really don’t need to surprise them with concert tickets.
