Yep, thats him. Lookin' fine at age 60.

Taken from the middle balcony in a very cool local rock club the Tabernacle...which used to be a church..but now it is just a very cool place (except for the stairs...the many flights of stairs you had to climb to get to either your seats or the bathrooms...lol)

There were rooms all around the place, there was a room with a bed we dubbed the orgy room...the max capacity sign said 28 people..so we told people thered be an orgy there after the show.

Oh, yeah, the show.

Wow.

Wish Id started seeing Jackson live years ago. If he was that amazing at age 60 with a cold and rude drunk people asking him to play Freebird...well..I can only imagine what he was like back in the 70's.

He played many songs from his new CD which apparently is very hard to come by here in Atlanta...not due to selling out..but because the stoopid stores around me didnt get any shipped to them. *sighs* Target youre next on my list...if you dont have it..Im gonna hurt someone. LOL He played "Lives In the Balance" a song written in 1985...when the world was a much different place..and we were "fighting" an enemy we could identify and see...the Russians...but the lyrics are still very relevant and moving. It is a song meant to be heard and felt live. Of course he played the hits, Doctor My Eyes (without the bongos, it isnt the same) Runnin' On Empty, Boulevard...he didnt play "Shape of A Heart" or For a Dancer...but you know what...its okay. :)

I still saw one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time, up close and personal...I got to go to a cool place Id never been to...I got to cry at song lyrics which have touched me as well as millions of others. I got to dress up and look and feel sexy.

Jackson, thank you for all the music, and for touching my heart. C'mon back to Hotlanta anytime you can. I hope the people wont be so rude next time. Please dont hold it against those of us who were there to hear you and bask in your music.

Where were the places with the 28-person beds when I was a young (really!) person in the 70s. GAWD...what missed opportunities!
