French Fried Friday

 Joe Bonamassa performed in Salt Lake City last night. That would have been August 12, 2021. Wow and you know what? Today is Friday the 13th! Be suspicious of anyone named Jason. So back to the party of the first part...Bonamassa played in the land of Zion and I'll bet it was a killer of a show. Bonamassa is pretty dang good on his guitar. Not bad with the vocals either. So the point of all this Bonamassa prattle is this, the tickets to get in to see Bonamassa live were not cheap. Not even close to cheap. Tickets for the front row were in excess of $300.00 dollars a pop. Floor seats reduced in price the farther back from front row you got. Be that as it may, floor seats in the overall were really pricey. Then there were the aerial seats and the nose bleed seats. Aerial being an upper deck in the Eccles Theater and then the freaking way up upper deck seating. The nose bleed seats were just a shade under $100.00 dollars a pop. I didn't go see Bonamassa. Nope that's too damn pricey for moi. So next year and that would be 2022 and in September of 2022, Roger Waters is coming to Salt Lake to play the Vivint Smart Home Arena. Stupid name for a concert hall but what are ya gonna do. The Vivint Arena is where the Utah Jazz play all their home games. Lah-dee-dah! So if Bonamassa tickets were in the really freakin' expensive zone, well, you can imagine that you'll need to give up a pint of blood of which 10% of that blood will go directly to the Mormon Church, the title and rights to your first born child, AND take out a second mortgage on your home to be able to get tickets to see Roger Waters. Roger Waters is at least half of the original Pink Floyd. I don't really care much for Waters so I could care less how much the tickets might cost for that show. I would however really like to see David Gilmore. Gilmore is the other half of Pink Floyd and the half that matters. As far as I'm concerned. Gilmore is more than likely never and not ever coming to Salt Lake City to play a concert. I can't blame Gilmore for that decision. Salt Lake City is a place you might want to visit but, on second thought, you'd be better off visiting Bryce Canyon National Park. If you do choose to visit Bryce Canyon, stop in Panguitch, Utah and have a meal at the Desert Grill which is the first quality restaurant you'll pass heading south to Bryce. Panguitch is a nice little town but you don't want to piss off the local deputy sheriffs. They are a might touchy bunch and the entire deputy sheriff contingent of 'bobbies' are scared shitless of any young lady from California that might just be a domestic terrorist. The deputy sheriffs in Panguitch are a feared of 'California domestic terrorists' so badly the deputies cower and quake at the mere sight of California license plates. Oh yes and there are legendary tales of the Panguitch deputy sheriffs fear of female domestic terrorists from California. A rather humiliating tale of twitchy deputies and torn up sign stomping. Oh the horrors... okay and let's make for the machine art and let the Panguitch deputies change their panties. On account of they tend to wet themselves in the line of domestic terrorist enforcement.
