I Don’t Want To Be…

So the show was awesome.  I wasn’t all that thrilled with Suburban Love Junkies but they were good.  Had I known their music beforehand, I’m sure I would have enjoyed them much more.  But I have to admit, I went to see Gavin, not SLJ.

Gavin took the stage a little before 9 and immediately had the audience (well, all of us there for the show at least, more on that later).  He played the usual songs from Chariot - Follow Through, Just Friends, [Nice To Meet You] Anyway and others.  Of course, he played Chemical Party with a little Papa Was A Rolling Stone & my favorite addition now, Proud Mary.  The one song I wish he would have played just simply because it has become my favorite in the last month is Belief (as noted a few entries back).  As for the people who apparently were not there for the show, yeah, Gavin pretty much stood up at one point and told them to go fuck off.  There was a crowd of people at the back bar who insisted on incessently talking and I’m pretty sure he was getting pissed.  It was a private show in the fact that only people with tickets were allowed in so if you had no intention of going for the show, why the fuck go??  I think he may have even played a shorter show than he intended because of the “assholes” as he liked to call them.

Even still, I got to meet Gavin after the show which was a pleasure.  I even got myself my own autographed cd booklet.  Of course I had him autograph the lyrics to Belief.  Yeah, I was a happy boy.

Well, until the 11th of January (Gavin Degraw at the Fathom Club in Chattanooga), I guess the CD will have to do.
