Something Else to Avoid That Which I Should Do

I was just thinking about a concert I attended last week. It was one of those landmark concerts...you know, an artist you MUST see before he or she retires, dies, or gets rich tryin'. Ha. Anyhow, it was Sinead O'Connor.

I've been going to concerts off and on for 15 years now. My first was a music festival hosted by my favourite radio station at the time...the infamous HFStival. It used to be you would have to shell out $10 or so which was cheap even then...and see a lot of bands. Now it's bigger bucks for a few bands. Even the radio station I listen to here (on minor occasions) has a festival. $25 for about six bands. Only one I like...SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPP it!!!

So I've seen the Indigo Girls a few times, Tori Amos twice, the Cure once...and now Sinead.

She tops them all. Sory C...but Moz didn't come close. This is for a rather peculiar reason I must admit.

I felt such a light and wondrous presence at this concert. Damien Dempsey opened up and he's so positive. He alone would have been awesome. Then Sinead arrived on stage with her band. She is a cute and beautiful person. Wow. I felt the Spirit so strong there. Kind of funny...she's been such a little ball of chaos for the past how many years? But she's so grounded in her beliefs. Granted she's not of the same belief system I am and I'm not going to say she's wrong in some of her beliefs...cos yes...that's what they are...HER BELIEFS. But what she brought was warmth and joy. I started to cry. If I need peace, I will listen to her music...especially Theology. If I need rage...FTW it is with Nick 13.
