Seriously, you Steve Miller Band Bashers JUST DON'T GET IT!!
Edited on Tue Mar-02-10 10:37 AM by LynneSin
Do you know I've seen Steve Miller Band in concert more times than I've seen Robert Plant in concert!

The concerts are like a fricking experience! Everyone knows the lyrics to the songs and we all just sing along (usually altered by booze or other things).

If he tours again this year I'm getting tickets - nothing makes me happier than an evening of Steve Miller Band in concert. In fact, I think I'll listen to a live album of his music right now!

1. How exactly do you know how many times Robert Plant has seen Steve Miller band in concert?
Did he make this public knowledge?

8. Some people are born to assholery. Others have it thrust upon them.
Still others choose to root for the Cowboys.

5. You're right Lynne, I'll never get Steve Miller.
Or should I call him 'Maurice'? He's just never reached out and grabbed meh, even when I went to 'New England Town'. And even though I live in Texas, I guess I'll never really know what the facts is, OR how to rhyme 'hassle' with 'El Paso'. Some people say that his songs are full of cliches, but that's just the big wheel keepin' spinnin' around - he just keeps on a-keepin' on.

Enjoy the concerts - you can have my seats! :D

That's the first issue right there

10. I've only seen one Steve Miller Band concert
back in the '80s or early '90s, and I agree with you, it was surprisingly fabulous -- and he just kept playing and playing and playing, like an Energizer bunny. In fact, I think we didn't even stay for the whole concert because we had to go to work the next day.

12. I'm not much of a fan, but can't be bothered to bash them

Totally different story w/ Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (Tom's only saving grace is that he's a Willbury) or The Who.
