When I was a little kid, my Dad drove me and two friends to the Long Beach Arena to see Cheap Trick. It was the “Dream Police” tour, and Moon Martin opened up for them. He absolutely sucked. It was the 3rd concert I had ever attended. Kiss and The Who were the first two. I also saw Aerosmith a long time ago, and they absolutely sucked and I walked out. No Joe Perry either. Flash forward many years later and Cheap Trick and Aerosmith are on the same bill. Cheap Trick, awesome. Aerosmith… awesome-r… On the drive home I was amazed at how close The Forum is to home. Than I realized how close some really bad neighborhoods are to home. What does the photo have to do with Aerosmith? Nothing. We just happened to go Long Beach before the show. We ate at this pizza place that smelled better than it tasted, and verbally solved some of the world’s problems in the few hours we were there. I like Long Beach, but it was seeming very Orange County to me and creeping me out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
