Love, love, love my wife. With all my heart, mind, and soul. However, we could not be more different concerning the Dead or, in this present day, DSO.
Before i I bought my ticket for the 11-29 National show (shameless plug: if anyone knows of a way I can get a VIP ticket to that show...), I called my wife and asked her if she wanted to go. It was more obligatory as I already knew the answer would be “no,” but I then asked her if she thought our daughter would like to go (she’s eight). She said she'd ask and then text me in a bit.
The text came, the answer was “no,” and I went online and purchased my ticket. End of story? Nope.
I picked my daughter up from the sitter’s place and as we were driving home, I asked her why she didn’t want to go see DSO. As best as I remember it, this was her response...
”Mom said that if I went, I’d get bored pretty quickly because going to a show like that was like listening to the same boring music over and over again, except only 10 minutes at a time.”
