Vaya Con Dios.

I would love to be there.

Maybe I should pull a Spicolli on my retirement and blow my kid's college money hiring VH to play?

Exactly, and how often do you get to hang out on stage with Sammy, Eddie, and the boys?

I never thought I'd say this, but they sucked.

Played When Eagles Fly -- only Sammy song. That sucked.

Played several new lame songs -- that sucked.

Didn't play many good ones -- that sucked.

And they're old.

I'm drunk and they still sucked.

I am now sober.

It was worth going to, but I was pretty disappointed with the playlist. Eddie's kid came out and jammed with him -- that was cool.

My head hurts, though.
