    Yup doing well, and yes the weird clause rang thru my head as I walked away from her.

    Doing well since surgery, thank you. Evidently I had one of those lucky cancers. It was big, it was attached to my kidney, and it wasn't reaching out. So they took the tumor and part of the kidney. I would only need chemo or radiation if there was regrowth. So far, no new cancer. (yay)

     

    She did mention that this tour was a run-up to the special, it was a great night!

    I hope you said hello to her face and weren't weird.

     

    I did say "hello," but there was a bunch of people lined up for merch, so the moment was quick.

    It felt weird on my part, I had a little agoraphobia related anxiety on my part. So I think what I blurted out to Tig was, "Thankyouforgettingmethroughthislastyear,todayismyoneyearanniversarysincecancersurgery,andeachweekyou'relikemysherpagetting methroughit."

     

    (thank you for getting me through this last year, today is my one anniversary since cancer surgery. And each week you're like my sherpa getting me through it.)

     

    Tig was very gracious, said she is now three years past her cancer, and made mention that I looked well.

     

    Enough about that moment, she kicked ass! It was a small room, and she really owned it. I'm not going to spoil any of it. I suggest to anybody with the opportunity, go see her live.

    Wow for a piano guy, you really followed quite the stable of guitar shredders!

     

    By 1986 SPIN & Rolling Stone mags were pushing college-alternative, so I migrated away from metal. There are only three music acts I've seen more than once, Jane's Addiction, Ziggy Marley, and a third which I shamefully will not reveal.

    Ziggy the 2nd time was incidental, I was visiting friends a Penn State, and on the other end of a pond I heard the song "Lee & Molly" so I said "who would THINK to cover Ziggy's song?" Of course the student bodies around me replied, "you duma$$, that is Ziggy Marley!" How out of it was I? I didn't even know my friends had taken me to a concert.

     

    Taking my daughter to see chillwave group Tycho next month. I imagine by the time she's 16, she'll scream at me, "my first concert was chillwave, why didn't you take me to see Nicki Minaj? You're the worst dad ever!"

     

    Kattan seemed like he was up for anything, and had a lot of stories. Hope he is on again, because he has been off the radar way too long. And I can't understand why he would almost break character when on live TV a woman is spitting food into his mouth. Magical stuff.

    Chaddychoo!

    Eat'em and Smile Tour! Saw it August 1986 in Wichita KS. Oof!

    Was stationed in Kansas at the time, just got out of the field, and had poison ivy infection in my bikini region. My manhood was swollen to the size of a cantaloupe. But it's Kansas, and we're starved for entertainment, so we went to show anyways.

    Cinderella opened, if I remember correctly. Typical hairspray metal band, glad when they were done.

    Steve Vai was David Lee Roth's guitarist and he did a great job. DLR did his usual antics, lots of time spent offstage doing costume changes, Steve Vai would play riffs from his own Flexable solo albums (I'm sure nobody but me recognized when Steve played "Little Green Men") during the costume changes.

     

    Somewhere I have a picture of a friend wearing a concert T, from that concert. I think I threw all my clothes away because of the infection. Yeah, my PTSD from my army days is all about DLR concerts & poison ivy. #neverforget

    The Comedians with Billy Crystal and Josh Gad (it's mentioned in this episode), is actually pretty good. The show has difficulty identifying itself to the audience. Is the sitcom about Billy being and old curmudgeon, and Josh the counterpoint young guy? Because each episode starts out that way, but then Billy and Josh find harmony, and THAT seems to be where the funny is located. When they team up together.

    Josh usually says something that you wouldn't expect to come out of the mouth of Olaf. The show might be skewed towards my age group (I'm old), so that might be why I find funny when they are being silly. Not sure what percentage is written, and how much is improv'd and kept in the episode. I think it might be close to 80/20. To be honest, you do have to watch a few episodes to get a feel for how the show works. They match these two together to make a TV show, so the setting is them, being shot documentary-style as they create another show.

    It's good, I would definitely rank it higher than a lot of sitcoms that are popular today (the fact that Brooklyn 99 won an Emmy, this should do the same as a slam-dunk) . And now I'll shut up about The Comedians.

    The camping story triggered flashbacks to a couple times I've seen guys, well, you know.

     

    I hear tales of people who grow old, and in their final days relive moments from their past. I'm older and fear regaling loved ones from my deathbed, with stories about these guys, well, you know.
