Vacation for 2 Weeks

Today I leave for my Graduation trip to Europe for 2 weeks where Ill visit Paris, Rome, Venice, Florence, Tuscany, and Voltar. That means there will be no posts on the blog till I get back on July 11th. I made two more posts below just before I left so i wouldnt leave you hanging with nothing. Hopefully once I get back there will be a bunch of newer and better stuff to update and share with. Also, Im going to take away the tagboard while Im gone because I dont want that to become a free-for-all without my advisory - Ill make sure to bring it back right when I come back home. For now, I suggest the blogs Music for All, XNicky, Ali's Blog, and Kevipod to visit while Im away cuz theyre all great. Ill talk to you when I get back!

The Police at McAffee Coloseum - A dicotomy of sorts










  • The Police were loose as shit - The Police were still brilliant
  • The Police would fall apart frequently - The Police were still brilliant
  • Sting threw in a bunch of his Stink like Aguilera Vocal Parts - Still Sting was golden boy, his voice like buttah
  • Andy Summers is 64 yrs old a floundered a bit- Andy had his rips and soloed like a motha'
  • Stewart Copeland was behind a lot of the time like he couldn't hear his stage mix and missed many Copeland "must have" fills - He still ripped like Animal when in the pocket and had a HUGE grin on his face the whole time.

The moral of the story? The police just can't suck - EVER...no matter how hard they try the songs are brilliant as well as the players who play them. They just can't suck. There were times of incredible brilliance during songs like "Beds to Big Without You" and "Invisible Sun" where I shat myself twice (The people around me didn't like that so much).

They jammed like I've never heard them jam before...and one in particular that I've NEVER heard before which was obviously structured and a potential new tune. Andy Summers said in the latest issue of Guitar Player Magazine that they have been jamming on 2 possible new tunes and if all goes well another ALBUM! Sweet...I think that jam was a taste.

Lastly, Sting's bass playing was so dead on. Thump thump thump through the whole show. I have such a new found respect for him (until I put on his latest solo efforts).

Oh, and I'd like to welcome Gusten Vincent Ticknor (known as Gus to his friends) who was born at 1:24pm, June 12, 2007. He weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces, and he was 19 and 1/2 inches long. Gus has a very good chance at being the next Sting. Congrats el Ticknor and Mrs. el Ticknor!
