  Just got my tix. Via a connection I was able to get 7th row a bit left of center stage....though I'm sure we'll still be behind LJ.
  
  Any fans? Anyone going?

  Hope you enjoy....but God that sounds horrendous.
  
  To each their own! Have a good one.

  On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
  I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
  'Cause there's something in a Sunday
  That makes a body feel alone.
  And there's nothing short a' dying
  That's half as lonesome as the sound
  Of the sleeping city sidewalk
  And Sunday morning coming down.

  Yes, but if you were....you'd have the best seats in the house.

  uh...wasn't this more famously done by Johnny Cash?
• Tiernan

  OK Zwick you got me...KK did write the song and delivered it to Cash in an Air Force helicopter he was piloting at the time. Great story.

  probably.. who wrote it?
• Steel Valley Football

  KK mostly wrote for other people. Bobbi McGhee was originally a country song about a girl.
• Sonofanump

  Jesus Christ, Superstar.

  That wasn't KK.

  The show tonight was pretty good. I was a bit surprised at the format, however...Kristofferson came out and sang one song and then introduced Merle and then they both stayed on the stage for the entire show and helped each other play the others' songs. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
  
  And, in an even bigger surprise moment, Merle announced they had a special guest in the audience and then invited Jamey Johnson up on stage and they did a great version of Long Black Veil. I was blown away at how good it was. I'm a fan of JJ and an even bigger fan of that song.
