YAY ALAN *waves* n stay outta trouble young man! At least nuthin serious, lol!
Whelp. I just purchased two tickets to the Chickenfoot show in Tahoe...I swore I wouldn't go back there for a show if there were other alternatives...but this is a one-timer sorta thing, so will hafta put up with the idiots in the crowd and hope for the best. We'll be in line allllllll day just so we can be 4 rows back and get stomped on, pushed and shoved by "party-ers" and have their drunken breff blown at our faces. Sigh. But it's my choice to go, I know that, and we're willing to "suffer" fer Joe, lol! But yeah.
Was gonna consider the sound check tickets, didn't need to do the meet n greets thing cuz I figgered that was waaaay outta what I'd want to pay, but was hoping the sound check prices were do-able. Regular GA tix were just under $60 before fees....so I was thinking sound checks and early entry package might be around $150ish...so was weighing that as a possibility cuz then we wouldn't have to stand outside so long and could be closer to the stage, away from the constant pushing and shoving of eegits....
But the sound check tix are just over $300....EACH. I prioritize things and I'm not saying Joe isn't worth it but....that just felt wrong, to have the price so much higher from a regular ticket just to get in early. So...we'll take our chances...although last year I ended up bruised in many places and limping from the drunks throwing themselves around. I need a force field.
And I need a chair....we'll be in line from about 11:00 onwards as Tahoe has some serious Sammy fans there.
Any other t2jers gonna go so we can share the wait together? And maybe form an interlocking "line of steel" during the show, LOL!!

Well, I fully support anyone who has a view one way or the other. That's a small part of the United States that we still have left.
My personal view on this subject is I fully support Arizona and it's LEGAL citizens.
It was funny to see the President of Mexico talking about solid immigration reform that supports our core values. Well, the core values that used to exist in this county was that you came here legally, and if you didn't, your ass was going home. Didn't matter if you birthed 10 children here and sucked up jobs and obtained free medical care at the expense of the rest of us.......I could probably write about 50 thousand words supporting my feelings on this matter.
If you commit murder in this country and someone gives a description of the person they "think" they saw, the law pulls 10 or so people in for a lineup. Now 9 of the 10 or all 10 are innocent of the charges. Well, it's profiling none the less. Why anyone at all in this country takes issue with profiling is beyond me. It happens everyday and it's been happening since the creation of law enforcement. If Mexican's are coming over the border illegally the law enforcement is probably not going to go looking for a red headed pale skinned freckled guy. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
If Mexican's who are here legally feel that their rights are being violated then put pressure on the Mexican government to tighten up their borders.
It's truly a shame that it's come to this. There are thousands of Mexicans who came to this country the right way and they and every other American citizen has been paying the price for those who decided they don't need to be here legally.
sitting around the oval office singing kumbaya with our thumbs up our asses has gotten us to this point. It's about time this country put it's foot down and get back to basics. Corporations preach it every day, why can't the government follow suit?

Hello people, I'm from Morocco and I'm new here. There was always some questions I think about each time I listen to Moroccan Sunset from the album Joe Satriani:
-How come he chose to write a song concerning my country?
-Had Satch ever been to Morocco? If so, I really want to know if it's possible that Satch could perform in Morocco some day cause he has a huge number of fans especially at Casablanca!!!

This oil spill is bad beyond belief. So many peoples livelihoods are gone indefinitely. Our ocean and beaches/marshes are ruined, and our animals are dying by the thousands. They're pumping in poison to disperse poison. Bad deal. Again, big money does shotty work and F's everything up for America and the world. It's not what can you give anymore, it's what can you take. The greed mentality is truly the American way. It's a cryin' fucking shame. Mother Nature's got nothing on human stupidity.
Beautiful Mother Nature

Hybes - Excellent words my friend...
I thought maybe sleeping on it would calm me down a bit, but I am still appalled at this whole sound strike thing. Personally, if you are in the entertainment business, I don't really think it's a good idea to be that extreme about your political beliefs. It could be suicide for your career. Hopefully it doesn't turn up that way, but I don't think what these guys are doing is the answer. At any rate, as long as Joe's name is on that list, I'll have to refrain from spending any money on all things Satriani, and anyone else on that list for that matter....

Turbo - I agree. I wish famous people would not use that fame to platform their beliefs.
I remember when the Dixie Chicks used their concerts to bash George Bush. Thought that was just completely wrong.
But everyone is entitled their beliefs. At least for now. I respect Joe's opinion on this matter. Wish he wasn't joining the boycott, but he's entitled.
Hopefully this will all be resolved soon and we can move on to other things.....like cleaning up massive oil spills.
