Daughtry

I think I may be officially 'OLD'. I am still slightly deaf after the concert last night.

So I was in attendance at the UA Homecoming Daughtry Concert. Apparently he was involved in a some little tv show called 'American Idol' but didn't win -- I don't know maybe you've heard of it?

So first of all the opening band was The SunStreak hailing from Rochester, NY. The were alright - I was actually kinda liking them by the last song or did I like it because it was the LAST song? Then they had to go all spastic on the crowd. Writhing around like they are having a seizure and I swear I thought the one guitar player was going to smash his guitar. At one point he was playing to no one showing off his baggy panted backside. Heck the lead singer even yelled ROLL TIDE!

Here is what I have learned.

• All lead singers must where the tightest jeans they can find. Add to that an innocuous white or black t-shirt and voila you have one sexy lead singer!
• It is best to sing with one foot up on the speaker - you can show off your manly curves this way.
• Throwing things at the crowd will make them like you (guitar picks, half drunk bottles of water , etc...).
• Nothing riles up a crowd like fake fireworks complete with sound effects?
• While the techies are setting up for the headlining act - this is the opportune time to call all your friends that are at the show and wave at them like idiots (picture thousands of drunk undergrads doing this simultaneously).
• Not only was my ticket for the concert it was also for the GUN SHOW! Daughtry was quite the muscular fellow. The poor gals behind me kept chanting for him to take his shirt off - but much to their chagrin he never did.

For some truly rabid fans go to his official site and read the poetry. Scary...I am very glad to say I was never that much of a fan-geek!
