Yesterday evening we went to see Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Tom Petty at the venue formerly known as Nissan, but now awkwardly named Jiffy Lube Live. It was mostly a crowd of younger people such as ourselves, probably still in diapers during the 70s or even yet to be born, but still with an appreciation for some classics that our parents probably played on the radio during long car rides. Or perhaps, like me, had Petty’s Greatest Hits album get stuck in the CD player in my first car in high school (the same CD player that my older brother “sold” to me for $100 bucks with the car even though it was my parents, ugh) but anyways causing me to forever associate “American Girl” with those awesome first drives around Howard County during the summer when I got my license, windows rolled down, singing at the top of my lungs, and… anyways, you get the picture. So, all-in-all, a great show and a great singalong event on what turned out to be a lovely evening on a hillside in Virginia.

Sounds like an awesome night. You’ll enjoy this article from the Washington Post

It shows that even huge rock stars can be really decent. We’re all Tom Petty fans but this ratchets it up a few notches.

DIY – now that’s a great story! Best line: “I almost feel bad for my guitar now, because it will never experience that again.”
