Mr. Who?

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Yeah, that’s what I was left wondering last night.

Sadie, Monkey, and I went to a concert last night to see Maroon 5 and Counting Crows. Don’t laugh, Maroon 5 is pretty cool and Counting Crows had their day as well. Anyway.

Maroon 5 put on a good show, played songs that everyone knew etc. Counting Crows came on and started with new stuff. I get it, they are promoting a new album or whatever. Fine. They did play some oldies that I knew and one newish one that is on the radio once in a while.

What song does everyone know the Counting Crows for? Well, let me tell you…Mr. Jones. Guess what song they did not play? You guessed it, Mr. Jones. WTF? I get that bands don’t want to only be known for that one hit they had or whatever, but Sadie and I wanted to hear that one most of all!

Needless to say, we left disappointed along with several other fans. Those who left after Maroon 5 were much smarter than we were. If we only knew.

Two thumbs way down for the Counting Crows.
