blues traveler concert

after work, and a little rest, i went to a concert tonight. blues traveler was playing at the zoo. i had seen one show there before, the indigo girls. nice show, i did hear the songs i had hoped to hear. there was 'but anyway', 'run around', and 'hook'. the last of the 3 was the final song before the encore. they did covers i recognized as well, like 'what i got' by sublime, 'creep' by radiohead, and in the encore they did 'want you to want me' by cheap trick. i thought it was odd that frontman john popper kept having smoke and drink breaks during the show. but i liked hearing plenty of harmonica playing from him. even brought mine and played it a little during the show. sounds like i wasn't alone, i heard a few others. one fan had a hat and sideburns, looking a lot like the frontman does. i get a feeling i get at concerts that i get at few other places, a feeling that things are all right. this is because music makes me feel good. it taps into human emotion the way few other things do.
    i got a suggestion from facebook that i write an editorial about emerson hough, the man. i said i was working on it, but had only considered the 2 newton publications, also suggested was the des moines paper. i liked how i was noticed about my passion for telling the story of the man while we debate the future of the school named for him. in the response i found out she was the one selling cookies at the fundraiser. i said i wanted m and m since it reminds me of a favorite musician, eminem. but she had only heard of the name, this actually came as no surprise. still a good story though. we must fight the good fight because it is necessary to fight for what is just.
