Notching the concert bedpost

Newsletter just came out - Steely Dan will be touring the States this summer. It has been approximately four minutes since I last breathed. I will resume breathing shortly.

Currently, the closest dates to AL are in Chicago and Washington DC, but the DC dates conflict with this year's dragon*con. More dates are supposed to be booked later, and I would think that an Atlanta, Nashville, or New Orleans date would be amongst them.

I have trouble believing that they won't book a date in one of those cities, but if for some reason they don't, um, hi, Matthew, Andrew, and Joy. I might be coming to visit.

Let me see if I can put this in terms that Heather will understand: Heather : Peter Gabriel show :: Amy : Steely Dan show

You will now excuse me while I wander off and make high-pitched squealing noises. I've only been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time.

I can't say anything 'cos I'm going to be hopping a plane if the Duran Duran (the original 5 members back together) doesn't hit the South. Me, miss something I've been waiting for since 1985 when they broke up (again, the original 5 members not any of the other lineups)? Not a chance in hell! Squealing? I wonder what they'll do when I start shouting & literally bouncing up & down.........

Danielle - that's seriously cool. I totally understand why you'd save up and go. Steely Dan last toured when I was in high school, and since I never heard about it until years later, I seriously doubt they played anywhere near Arkansas. I've always harbored a secret hope that I'd get to see them play, but never really expected it to happen. I was just flabbergasted when they announced actual tour dates for their album that's coming out this summer ("Everything Must Go"). Even if I *had* gotten to see them in '94, I think it will mean a little more now. Just a little. As for you, Robert, no mocking the squealing noises! Babylon Sisters is a good song, and Gaucho (its album) is a good album, but I've always gravitated more toward the middle section of their work: Katy Lied, Royal Scam, and especially the oh-so-wacky Aja.

Danielle, so with you! Saw Duran Duran in '87 but at that point it was only the three of them. So yes, we can totally relate to high-pitched excited squealing!
