current tour.
Niether one of those guys on the left are me.
Guess you knew that? They are not much older however. Today of course is a day when a person who reads this blog, on occassion, sent me a note and called me a philosopher, but then added that he thought I was a romantic. Gulity I plead. Of course my recent blog explained the difference between a philosopher and a "Professor of Philosophy". Glad to be called a philosopher. I do like literature. Today I found myself talking with a person on a plane about what in life might be
considered a passion and I suggested, for me, a lot of "reading" may qualify.
60 of the 120++ performances attended. El Paso and Austin and more
My plane trip to Austin stopped in El Paso. A couple of dozen folks got on the plane talking about the Stones concert and they were on the way to another concert in Austin, which I think is tommorrow night. This lady sat down by me. She was 46 and for 25 years had followed the Stones around the world. Just in the current concert tour she had been to 60 shows. Europe, Asia, and was going to three concerts in India soon. She was single and this was her "lifes passion". Apparently there are a lot of folks like her and I guess the band appreciates it since she gets front row seats. Her passion, in her own words, replaced any marriage or kids in her life but had brought her friends and experiences. She also had a good job as a property appraiser.
"Passion she called it.
Action follows feelings, I mentioned yesterday. I guess if we have a passion for something we indeed can "get satisfaction", since we will be acting on something.

how interesting to hear about that woman who follows the Stones around. Talk about dedication!
You didn't show a picture of my favorite Stone - Charlie Watts.
