You're welcome, Jeri and kat. And you're right Steve -- it wasn't Blue Oyster Cult but Blue Rodeo, so my apologies. I missed most of that act because my friend hadn't brought a hat -- silly girl! -- and after a few hours in the blazing sun in that crowd of nearly half a million people, she was almost passing out from heat stroke.
So we picked our way through that obstacle course of arms and legs and blankets and trash, and got the cops to let us sit behind the long line of tractor-trailers full of bottled water -- the only shade available. Spent the next hour bathing her with a T-shirt soaked in icy water and passing her Reiki (a Japanese form of energetic healing in which I just got my Mastery a few weeks ago :>)!!) and she recovered quickly, thank God/dess!
Reiki and Rock'n Roll -- who'da thought? It felt funny to be doing Reiki with AC/DC blasting out "Hell's Bells" though!
And I forgot to mention a band called the Tea Party -- they are so different -- not quite "death metal" but almost. They never used to be my cup of Tea, but after seeing and hearing them live I've changed my mind. Their music is quite unique, seems to conjure up these images of huge serpents writhing up from the core of the earth or something. Spell-binding! So if you're ever in the mood for something dark and original, and you can keep an open mind, check them out.
