"You love the thunder / and you love the rain."
Sorry that y'all are having to dig out from the deluge of Tropical Storm Ida, Durham. I'm in the Sunshine State today -- enjoying the high-seventies and sunshine in the part of the Panhandle that didn't get deluged.
I can't help you much if you like the rainy weather.
But if you like Jackson Browne -- who sang about thunder and rain in one of his 1970s hits -- you'll like the chance to win two tickets to Browne's concert at the DPAC tonight, courtesy of the folks at American Tobacco.
Email funatamericantobacco@gmail.com before 4pm today to enter to win the tickets. 20th person to write in wins. (Speaking of 70s artists, why does this sound like a radio station call-in?)
A big thanks to BCR and DPAC. I was the lucky winner and had great seats and a great time.
The music was excellent and the crowd was...let's say very engaged. The prevailing attitude of a highly vocal portion of the audience was "set list? we don't need no stinking set list". Mr. Browne was extremely gracious while hovering somewhere between bemused and beleaguered as the show became a quite literally a command performance.. He even accepted the challenge to play Free Bird at one point (who was yelling for that?).
Another highlight was when Mr. Browne called a Durham neighbor(Tony didn’t get the last name) up on stage to play a duet. Tony, you should be touring with him.
Thanks again,
