A radio announcer yesterday said that everyone will remember where they were when they heard Michael Jackson died. The co-announcer said, "Well ya, it was yesterday." It was only a couple of days ago but I do think I will always remember where I was when Rob told me Michael Jackson had died. He is a legend. For better or worse the whole world know who he is. I told Rob I would be interested in knowing how long it took at least one person in every city to know Michael Jackson was dead. I say about a half hour or less. With the internet news travels fast! I didn't really know who Michael Jackson was until I met Rob. I am sure I heard his music but I have never been very good with identifying people with the movies they are in or the songs they sing. I'm getting better. Michael Jackson had some really good music. He also had some really weird music. But there are a few songs Rob and I still dance to when having a romantic dinner together. I admit he really struggled personally and I feel bad for him that he could really figure things out. I think most people would agree that he needed to NOT have any plastic surgery. He looked WAY better black then white. They talked a lot on the TV about how much he was in debt. How does someone get millions of dollars in debt? Seriously? Maybe people didn't look at his credit when giving him a loan or something. They just said, "Oh you are Michael Jackson. Here is a million dollars. Pay me back when you can." That just boggles my mind. But despite all his struggles he produced some good music. My children will know his music. And just think, he will now be able to know the truth and maybe finally be able to figure things out once and for all. Thanks for the music Michael Jackson!

No Doubt - Paramore Concert!
Rob and I had the chance to go to a No Doubt - Paramore concert. They played at the ECenter which, in my opion, is a great venue. We also like going to concerts at the Usana Ampa Theater. When we got to the concert I was completely surprised. Our seats were right next to one of my high school friends who I haven't talked to since I graduated. I guess we really needed to get back in touch. It was great to see her. The concert actually had three bands play. The first band was called "The Sound". Rob and I had never heard of them before. They had a pretty good sound but almost every other word was the "F" word so it cheapened their music. Isn't that sad that bands don't have enough imagination to come up with lyrics without a bunch of "F" words? I mean, come on! That was the only lame part of the whole night.
The next band to play was Paramore. For all you Twilight fans out there you know who Paramore is. For those who aren't as addicted to Twilight as I am they are a new band. I'm actually not sure how "new" they are, but I think they really made their break by playing in the Twilight movie. They were very entertaining. I know we would go to a concert if they were the main band playing. They were that good! And I have to admit, I am jealous of Hayley's (main singer chick) hair! I would love to have the guts to dye my hair bright red. Who knows, maybe someday. I'm not sure I could pull it off though. But I think she looks great with red hair. If you get the chance to see Paramore in concert I would highly recommend them. Sometimes Rob and I wonder if we should go to a concert because we really like the music but are afraid of what kind of crowd it would bring. This crowd was good so we were happy about that.
The main and last band to play was No Doubt. No Doubt has been around for a very long time but I didn't really know anything about them until I met Rob. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES No Doubt. They were awesome! Between Paramore and No Doubt I didn't have much of a voice the next day. Gwen (main singer chick) is also very entertaining. She even had a little girl come up on stage with her. Hugged her, took pictures with her, and probably made that little girls year! She also brought her 2 year old son up on stage and had us sing Happy Birthday to him. At first he had sound proof head phones on and when Gwen took them off so he could hear us singing I think it was too loud for him because he wanted her to put them right back on. He is super cute. And man, Gwen doesn't look like she has any kids. She is in great shape. The only really strange part was the drummer. He was freakin' me out. For the last few songs he came out in a tutu. That's right a pink tutu. I have heard it takes a REAL man to wear pink but that is taking it the extreme! Rob and I try to be open minded but that was just a little too weird for me. Overall the concert was excellent and we will definately go again if we have the chance!

Thinking Things Though
Today on the way to work Rob and I saw a car with a "Y" on it for the BYU college. After taking a second look at the sticker we had to laugh because they had positioned the sticker right on top of one of their rear brake lights. So when the car brakes, red lights come through their blue colored school. I'm not sure they really thought that through before they put the sticker on. Kind of funny though!
