Speakers Push Air?

Big night last night.
Baseball
Baby
Office
Awesome!

A few random thoughts as I drove to work this morning:

-Kristen and I go to my parents every 4th of July because they live by the shore and fireworks on the beach equal big fun. This year we were on the AC Expressway and we see a billboard advertising the Beach Boys playing a free show on July 4th. We spent the rest of the drive recalling our favorite Full House memories involving the Beach Boys with my favorite being my father-in-law cursing the TV when Uncle Jesse jumped on drums with them. We get to my parents and sorta forget the whole thing. So anyway, the 4th rolls around and I pick up the paper to find out exactly what time the fireworks are set for and then I see it....... John Stamos will be joining The Beach Boys. Now I have always been a casual Beach Boys fan. I mean Pet Sounds is cool and I think that God Only Knows is one of the best songs ever but beyond that I'm indifferent. I guess you could say that I'm a bigger Stamos fan than a Beach Boys fan. As pathetic as it sounds, Full House has had a more profound effect on my life than the Beach Boys. Especially a Brian Wilson-less Beach Boys. Although I'm not a Brian Wilson fan. Hmmm... this has been one wild tangent but I feel the need to take a moment to vent about the Brothers Wilson. I used to think that I like dBrian Wilson. I thought he was amazing. I was waiting with wild anticipation when Smile came out. Then I played it non-stop. I even bought Lucky Old Sun and bobbed my head along with it. Then I heard Pacific Ocean Blue and it hit me. Dennis Wilson was the heart and soul of the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson was nothing more than a fraud. He never surfed, he screwed the rest of the band and he was a horrible person to his family. Now he is putting out these god awful records with out dated harmonies and lyrics that rival the intelligenc eof a third grade love poem. Pacific Ocean Blue on the other hand has some soul. Anyway back to the story at hand. My wife and I ended up going to the show and sure enough Stamos was there. The band sounded tight and my 5th grade social studies teacher gave me a beer. Overall a good time was had by all

I had a few more stories to convey that related to music but the market is killing me and it took me all day just to write that story (I'm sure its obvious by the disjointed nature)

Weekend
Awesome
