I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of nuclear annihilation... I believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow... I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed. »» Martin Luther King, Jr., Address in Acceptance of Nobel Peace Prize - 10 December 1964


Dream Concert Only 10 Weeks Away

Y’all know I’m not much of a music fan, but when Z called me this morning to ask permission to attend a Kelly Clarkson concert as part of a friend’s birthday party I couldn’t turn her down. When I was 8 years old my mother refused to give permission for my father to take me to see a concert in Los Angeles - Pink Floyd’s The Wall. I can only imagine how different my life would have been had I attended such a historical moment.

Z called and woke me up because her friend had just purchased the tickets this morning and she needed to know who could go right away. Of course, she’s still got to get permission from her mother…

My griping to my roommates about being woken up led to a conversation about waiting in line overnight for concert tickets and for which concerts we’d be willing to do so. Without a doubt, the Led Zeppelin reunion tour would get the longest wait for me. I may have missed The Wall, but seeing Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason “son of late drummer John” Bonham reunite under the Led Zeppelin banner in London and headlining the memorial to Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records, would go a long way towards making up for that. How amazing would it be to share such an experience with Z? Especially only a few shorts weeks after she got all gaga over the “musical stylings” of an American Idol winner?

If you’re looking to score tickets to the next big British reunion, the Download Festival at Donnington Park, The Leeds Festival or any other major event in the UK then you need look no further than Viagogo.co.uk. They’ve got it all including sports tickets to all the major rugby, football, golf, tennis and Formula 1 events. Best of all… no camping required!
