AC/DC hit the stage with a bang. Two cannons fired pyrotechnics into the air as the sound system blasted the audience with ‘For Those About To Rock’. The crowd went wild; cheers, whistling, jumping up and down in a frenzy to the beat and Angus Young’s guitar riff. Shirley wasn’t a fan of the Australian rock band, but her boyfriend, James, was. They had trav...
A few months ago was my birthday, and my boyfriend Brian announced that he got me tickets to my favorite band of all time, The Monsters. Their lead singer was a deliciously hot guy named Zeke Monster, which was ninety percent of why I liked the band so much. I didn't want to tell that to Brian, though. We were both juniors in college, but Brian had some dumb...
Author's Note: Night at the Concert is my first submission, so please be gentle...Even so I hope you think it's hot! Kaitlin and Tom had been planning to attend the Fall Classic Rock Concert series at the Marriott Hotel and Botanical Gardens for several weeks now. It's an outdoor venue on hotel grounds overlooking the ocean and people bring their blanket...
(#1 In a Series of However Damn Many I Wanna Write) Jake Barmen kicked the loose pebbles as he made his way to his cramped apartment. Nothing could lift his dank mood. He’d lost his job and girlfriend in less than a half-hour. Not that he particularly loved his job as a copier repairman, but it had paid the bills. As for his girlfriend, the bitch had cheate...
JOURNAL ENTRY 4 BY SUZANNE BAINES Last night is still a blur, but it is a blissful blur. A few of my Band students approached me about a month ago to ask me if I'd be interested in going with them to a Limp Bizkit concert. As a Band teacher, I am always trying to make what we are doing "relevant" to today's generation, and I frequently use rock music in m...
Previously on Vice Cop, Hudson and Lexa, working Homicide, went undercover chasing an elusive killer known as The Yellow Cab Killer, a taxi cab driver who murdered his passengers. The killer, disguised as a passenger, had Hudson drive him to the airport where he made his escape, teaching Hudson he couldn't always save the day. This episode has a lot of plo...
I drive up to Manchester and Andres meets me at the hotel we're staying at. We're heading over to the M.E.N. arena that evening for the Porcelain and the Tramps concert and neither of us can wait. He looks like a total rock star already, but I've still got my preppy girl clothes on. Although we don't have much time, we still have a little time to imbibe in a...
However much I admired Crystal's song-writing skills when I was playing in her band, I didn't really dwell much on the meaning of her lyrics. Certainly not with the intense attention to detail as Polly Tarantella. She quotes from Crystal Passion's lyrics as if it was poetry and uncovered depths of meaning in them that had never occurred to me. I suppose i...
"Where is everyone?" I asked when after an exasperating journey on Philadelphia's public transport system I'd finally got back to the hotel and found Crystal sitting in the hotel lobby with only Jenny Alpha and our luggage for company. Crystal pretended to look around the hotel lobby at the scuffed velour chairs and the sticky linoleum floor. "They're not...
After the dam broke and we finally allowed ourselves a night of passionate lovemaking, Natalie and I both started to feel rather guilty around our spouses. That night we'd managed to clean ourselves up and get to our respective beds, but in the morning there were a couple of scary moments. At breakfast Emma kept bringing up a dream she'd had with wolves howl...
