Sitting tonight at the Bryan Adams concert 5 rows back I realized something.
I have ADD.
Pretty certain of it.
I couldn't even keep my eyes on that piece o hunk o man candy even when he was singing some of my very favorite songs. My mind and my eyes were wandering.
Are you able to fixate on one particular thing for long periods of time without drooling?
I can't.
So I was thinking during all of his wonderful songs some of the following; because I am nuts.
MY THOUGHTS:
I wish I could sing like that. But it wasn't meant to be.
I wonder if I'd have a signature move ---- like the one where he pulls his mouth away from the microphone during heavy singing…
I also wondered if he was sweating.
Are his jeans designer or did he buy them at the Levi's store?
I wonder if he has special jeans made?
Are they black? Black must be his signature color.
I wonder what my signature color should be. Definitely not purple.
I pondered whether or not his one leg was bigger than the other… simply because he tapped it more to the beat.
Then I wondered if someone shined his guitar because it was awfully shiny…. meaning shining in my eyes.
Then I wondered if his fingertips were softer .. or more calloused from all those years and summers of strummin on that guitar.
Then I wished I could feel his fingers.
Then I wished…. well I'm not sharing that .
I was wondering if his pianist was nervous.
If he looked for cues from Bryan.
Then I wondered if the spotlight ever pissed him off?
Cuz it pissed me off the few times it ran into my eyes.
Then I wondered if he noticed Bouncy Barbara in Row 2. Who was swinging her hair into her neighbors face. I wondered if he would forehead punch her if he was the recipient of that Bouncing Swinging Hair move. Cuz I would have.
I wondered how the bouncer got the message " NO CAMERAS' to scroll across his phone while he walked up and down the aisles warning us. Then I wandered why he was too lazy to fareaking say it out loud. All the other bouncers did.
Maybe he had laryngitis.
I wondered lots.
What I realized other than the fact that I have ADD , I'd never sing nor be as skinny as Bryan Adams…. was that everyone at a concert " views it" a different way.
For instance.
My sis. Viewed Bryan as the love of her life. Singing her songs.
My mom… while she loves Bryan as Nenny and I do …. she was looking at the instruments. I know it.
She's musical like that.
Me--- well … you know.
( see above)
I was also fairly concerned with the large amount of spit spraying out of his mouth …. that I could clearly see 5 rows back.
I was thankful I wasn't front row… no matter how much I'd honeybun him.
But everyone enjoys things, views them, sees them, immerses themselves in different ways. We all take something different out of life's adventures huh? Your Bryan Adams concert isn't necessarily MY Bryan Adams concert… and there's nothing wrong with that.
Look at me.
I'm Yoda!

I think many of those are very logical questions to have at a concert. Especially the one about forehead punching the hair lady. Heck, if I were Bryan Adams and I saw that from the stage, I'd find something big and heavy yo throw at her...
LOVE your blog and very different review of the BA show , I personally know the " hair bouncer" person and let me tell ya she annoys the poop out of a lot of ppl because of the hair throwing , bouncing whatever ya call it. hope you enjoyed the show . and his pianist is rarely nervous and yes he does look for cues from bryan at times cos bryan likes to switch things up sometimes :)
I think Bryan Adams smiled at me at a concert back in oh, Eighty-something... yeah...
Thanks for the recap. Sounds like a great time.
I don't think I have ADD, but those same sort of thoughts run at warp speed through my head in every situation where I'm forced to just sit. So maybe I do?? Geez, I wonder how often i could use that excuse to my advantage.
"I'm sorry boss. I wasn't ignoring you and busy checking email on my phone, I have ADD."
Bryan could spit on me any time he wanted......just sayin' #kinky
I wonder the same things when I'm at concerts. I also people watch as much as I watch the performer. I guess I have ADD, too.
I've gone off on people for their body parts touching me and I would do it again.
And I have enough enough that I can only remember to say WOW, way to go, Toothsoap!
I have ADD...it totally takes very little to side track me from anything and everything. I'm like a little pinball...bing...bing. bing...bing...TILT!
Yeah for Toothsoap's big mention!
Seems like as I am getting older I am getting more and more ADD!
I, too, think that the older I get the worse it gets.
I mean I can walk across my clasroom on a mission to get something accomplished, and 30 minutes later come back to my starting point only to find I NEVER did the first thing I had intended.
I would much rather go ADD at a concert... :)
it's nice to know that i am not the only one that just doesn't stop a running dialog in my head :)
My thoughts tend to drift during Bryan's shows......not quite the same as yours, but close.....I've shared your blog with members of his fanclub (they are laughing at your post - quite funny!).
Just curious, which show was this?
