Cowboys Stadium Concert?

Probably the biggest upcoming event at the Arlington Taj Majal is Paul McCartney's concert.

I've often said I regretted missing his '76 Wings Over America tour, but, at the moment am a bit faint of wallet, and the reviews of the sound quality at Cowboys Stadium wouldn't exactly make me happy to part with loads of lucre for a mediocre auditory experience.

Thankfully, I did the next best thing tonight.

My daughter and I tossed a couple of zero-gravity reclining lawn chairs in the SUV, drove down the block, and watched Me & My Monkey perform at the local park.

For free.

Although they had some intermittent electronics gremlins, the sound was otherwise great, and of course, with the catalog of tunes, they never do the same playlist. One of tonight's standouts was a very trippy I Am the Walrus. (Actually, I thought Wilford Brimley was the walrus...)

And for a real treat, as an encore the band performed Revolution and Back in the U.S.S.R, the latter possibly describing the country between Canada and Mexico in the age of Obama, the former maybe a clue to a Jeopardy question.
