Well I hope police keep the TeshHeads under control. They are a wild group of AARPers that will trash our neighborhoods with their Caddies, wine bottles and polo shirts.

Maybe he’ll play Roundball Rock. People my age remember that as the theme music to the NBA on NBC back in the ’90s. It’s one of the best pieces of sports-centric music ever.

The Fraze wants the sedate and nearly comatose audience since the staff is nearly as old as the acts on stage.

My wife and I will be in attendance. We’ll be the ones in the Cialis inspired bathtubs up on the grass…….
