Let the Cinderella’s Rise and the Phish Swim

18 Mar

The annual March Madness tournament begins today at 12 p.m. Do you know what that   means? Some lucky team is going to fit into Cinderella’s slippers and march their way out of the first round and into surprise territory. Personally, I believe Cornell may make an appearance in upset city. But, if you want to be safe, pick the team with long hair and tight, white pants. The glam metal band from Philadelphia, PA would agree with your selection. So, to get the NCAA Tournament started off right, here is Cinderella’s, “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone). The anthem for overzealous Cinderella basketball teams.

How can you not love Rolling Stone magazine covers? They are just very odd. It is funny because at first I did not realize they were wearing ice skates. Maybe they are all going ice-phishing. Do you like what I did there? I crack myself up an unhealthy amount of times. Anyway, Phish, the jam-band that is portrayed on ice in this picture, will be hitting the road this summer for a monster 29-date tour, according to Rolling Stone magazine. The tour will begin with a show on June 11 at Toyota Park in Chicago. Phish will end their tour with a two-night stay in Wantagh, NY at the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach. The Jones Beach Theater is close to my house and I have seen numerous concerts there. It is a wonderful venue when the weather is agreeable. The open theater is on the water and the light ocean wind that swirls around the theater is comforting and refreshing. So, Phans of Phish, rev up the environmentally responsible buses and gather some brews because it’s going to be a long trip with Phish this summer.
