My dear wife gave me tickets to any show coming to The Egg as my Valentine’s Day present.
So my question: what shall I see, and why? I’ll admit that I was leaning toward Emmylou, until her performance was postponed from March 12 until October. (I’m a more immediate gratification kind of guy.) I’d REALLY appreciate your feedback.

And apropos of absolutely nothing, I know this came out last week, but I still love this story: Sports broadcaster traded for animated rabbit. Not so much for the Disney empire, but for the historical completeness.
