I Am F***ing Hammered And I Just Saw The Foo Fighters Perform Their New Album. Yay Life!

Please forgive my grammar and spelling for I am very drunk.

So, I am at this very moment, DRUNK AS HELL. It has been a hot minute since I have drunk any sort of alcoholic beverages. In fact, too long it has been, as Yoda would say. However, I am not drunk enough to disregard the events that transpired in the last 7 hours.

I just saw the effing Foo Fighters perform their entire new album at The Roxy on a Monday, a day that has a very bad reputation and yet has done me so right, in so may many ways. Dear Monday February 7th, you were orgasmic. In fact, you make a person wanna drop a stomach pancake.

It was a night that I never saw coming. I never expected. I wasn’t planning on seeing the Foo’s tonight, but somehow, the universe saw it fit to bless me with an opportunity. Life handed me rock and roll on a silver platter and it had EVERYTHING to do with the Foo Fighters.

I have had a pretty craptastic last few weeks. The fact the I didn’t jump off of a high building is a miracle. In fact, the fact that I am even capable of mustering up enough emotion and strength to write a blog is unbelievable. I thought I was drained of every and all motivation.

These last few weeks have made me question whether or not God hates me.

Apparently, he doesn’t.

I get to work today in a very bad mood. My Pittsburgh Steelers forgot to show up to the Super Bowl. Yea, THAT happened. I spent my entire day wanting nothing more than for everyone I came in contact with to suck it. Suck it hard.

Then I get a phone call that would essentially alter the course of my evening and in turn, this wretched month.

Dr. Lisa called me and to make a long story short, offered me an invite to see the Foo Fighters at The Roxy at one of their pop up “secret” shows. Hell yes.

So I get off of the air on KROQ and haul some serious ass to The Roxy. I made it just in time to watch The Foo Fighters take the stage in what was an electrifying evening of music and bad assery. (Bad assery is only a term in my universe).

The Foo freakin’ Fighters played the entire new album for us and it is everything you want it to be and then some. These were the type of songs that you classify under “blood sweat and tears”. The type of songs that are so raw and honest, that although you have never heard them before, you can sing word for word because you can anticipate  their every emotion and intention. The kind of songs with the kind of lyrics that you want tattooed on your body. The kind of songs that speak on your behalf.

After the Foo Fighters performed the entire new album, the night had just begun. The hits were next.

We sang and we sang our guts out.

I was inside of The Roxy, a legendary venue on the Sunset Strip, and tonight, it surpassed legendary and became iconic.

The Foo Fighters and everyone inside of The Roxy tonight rocked to the beat of the pulse of life and for one moment, we all understood and lived the lyrics “it’s times like these we learn to live again”.

F*CK YOU FourSquare! I just became the mayor of my life!

THE FOO FIGHTERS RULE!
