• What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?

  I went to the Matchbox Twenty/Alanis Morissette concert last night.  Soooo much fun!  It kind of brought me back-- Matchbox Twenty was the first concert I ever went to way back in May of 2003.  Unlike that concert at the United Center, though, this one didn't make me smell like pot.  It was a pretty fun atmosphere, though significantly smaller venue than the United Center.

  I am mad at Alanis Morissette for not singing Hands Clean, but she did make up for it with a joke in her performance of Ironic.  Instead of singing, "It's like meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife" she sang, "It's like meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his [dramatic pause] husband."  I was laughing.  She does a pretty good performance.

  I'm glad that Matchbox Twenty is back together.  Rob Thomas was no good on his own.  Their new stuff is a lot better than their last album, although they don't have very much new stuff.  We'll see if this tour gives them enough energy to bounce back.
