Impulse purchased tickets to boomer rock. what am I in for?
The lead guy of one of the best chugging, straight ahead bar bands evah.

I always substituted "right" for "rise" as in "There's a bad moon on the right!"

Worked for me.

Fogerty is a god-damned genius. CCR is the best classic rock bar none. Nothing even comes close. Maybe Freddy Mercury but you can't exactly go see him live.

I understand, like about, 10% max of that post!
I could understand Finnish better and I talk no Finnish!
If you started talking cricket, we'd be in the same boat. There's so much argot that evolves around sports. And then you've got inner and outer argot - fans at one level, pro's at a deeper level.

"an aside,"
I'm good with this

"in little league"
A sports league for kids? Amateurs? Small people? I'm going with kids!

Yup, very popular youth league. I think a lot of pro's start there but I don't really follow baseball

"coach put me in cf,"
Nope! No idea.

center field

" had a solid double"

a hit that can easily get you second base

Yup. Nothing here either.

"but I took off my glove"
Ha! Boxing? Golf? Voguing? BASSBALL! It's baseball!
raw dogging a hard ball is never a good plan

"to hot dog it"
see above

Nope nothing again.

"and it bounced to the fence.. might have been an inside the park...I don't recall"
Ball hit the boundary?

inside the park home run - a quad you might say

"but coach was pissed.
don't put 11yo me In centerfield."
Coach was drunk and made 11yo you stand in the middle of the baseball pitch?
I'm bored so I filled in as best I could.

Saw Elvis Costello (age 69) and Daryll Hall (age 75) last night - Elvis was functional and still sounded decent enough.

Daryll was not at his best, his best years are long past when it comes to utilizing his pipes.

Saw a bunch of old guy rock last year - Peter Gabriel & Rod Stewart & Howard Jones & Rick Springfield were phenomenal.

Foreigner, while the OG band is old, not one member from the OG was performing, so while it was a great show I felt like I was watching a cover-band!

We went to see Marshall Tucker Band about 20 years ago. Only one original member of the band...and it was like listening to a basset hound try to sing.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have entered the conversation. Am I saying they're better? No. Same level? Yes. Queen isn't a good comparison because what they did was (largely) so different.

I like some Petty songs, but do not like others. The only CCR song I might consider turning off is Grapevine, and even that depends on my mood at the time.
