STP Tour dates announced!

This makes me very, very happy. I saw them when they played at Street Scene, many a year ago and that experience was one of my all time favorites. I don't know about them playing at Qualcomm though. I guess they can because they know people will pay to see them, but i would have loved to see them at something just a little smaller - um Spreckel's?

According to the website, all the tickets go on sale March 31st except for a few, which go on sale April 1st.

I'm a huge fan of Morrissey and The Smiths. I've been to several concerts and I've never been completely disappointed. Some concerts were better than others, but I always left tipsy and happy.

I know there are a lot of people out there that think Morrissey is done and old news. People think he can't contribute to music anymore. But in all reality, he has contributed so much, that it will never end. He has influenced so many bands that one will never escape. Personally, I don't mind. I can listen to Morrissey and to The Smiths over and over again.

I heard the tickets are $50 each, general admission. I don't think that's too bad. I'm even considering trying to go to both the Los Angeles and San Diego shows.

Hope to see someone, anyone at either the Los Angeles or San Diego shows.
