Went to see Social Distortion w/ Bad Religion at the MGM Music Hall by Fenway last night. A gift from my best friend of 40+ years, to celebrate seeing them on Lansdowne 20 years ago. Mike Ness looks significantly smaller after his battle with cancer (not that he was ever a tall man, he's tiny, but he was very jacked). Abbreviated show due to the double bill, but I can understand, his hair hasn't even grown back yet. Very emotional, and his playing and voice are still top notch. The guy just rocks.
On another note, my old self can't do the weeknight concert thing anymore. The show was over by 11, home by 12:15, and I'm dragging ass this morning (and I don't drink anymore). I used to be able to go till 2 AM, drink 20 beers, and get up fresh as a daisy.
