Out of the Blue

[Oct 15, 2011, 2:36 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

We are planning on doing some rocking tonight, as we have concert tickets (front row no less!). We are off to see Ian Hunter, most famous for the hit version of David Bowie's All the Young Dudes back with Mott the Hoople. This follows my philosophy about attending concerts since hitting middle age, which is to only see artists who are older than myself so I'm not as likely for feel like that old-timer who sticks out in the audience. Ian recently turned 72, so I'm pretty confident we'll once again actually be among the younger attendees.

Rocking Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play:	Fisher-Diver. Youda Fisherman.
Links:	Fifteen People You'll See At Every Nerd Convention. 7 Awesome Facts About Goggie Communikayshun.
Science:	Nanotube yarns twist like muscles. T-Rex dinosaur was even more massive than we thought. Dean Kamen’s Inflatable Wind Turbine Doubles As Digital Billboard. Thanks HARDOCP.
Images:	Updating Your Computer FAIL. Ok...
Media:	FAIL Blog PSA: Hollywood Guest Director. Worst iPad Ever of the Day.
The Funnies:	Counterpoint Webcomic of the Day.

My buddy Jimmy plays guitar in Hunter's band. I saw Mott back in the day (they were the first rock band to play on Broadway)and his solo tours with Mick Ronson, great shows

Is that "Jimmy the Greek?" He was completely awesome!

You've got to be cruel to be kind...in the right measure.

Does this rocking involve chairs?

Years ago (maybe early 00s), I got to see Jerry Lee Lewis at a local show. (He looked so old) They almost had to prop him up...on one of the last songs of the night, he finally managed to haul up his right leg and do his trademark of hitting a few of the piano keys with the heel of his foot. The crowd cheered!

Never knew you were a Mott/Ian fan...sent you a couple of links from a friend that saw him there recently...

Hope you have fun!
