“I’m not a fan of country music,” I informed my wife when she told me about the Garth Brooks concert coming to town.
“But I love Garth Brooks” she said.
“Give me rock ‘n roll any day,” I answered. “But I also like blues. A lot of rock ‘n roll has its roots in blues.”
“So does a lot of country music,” she countered. “Both country and blues are very personal, whereas rock, to me, lacks that personal touch.”
“Rock is very personal,” I insisted. “Every rock song tells a story.”
“But every country song is a story,” she said.
Listen, there’s a Stones concert over at the old hangar at the abandoned airfield next month. We should go.”
“I’d be a little worried,” she said. “I heard security at Stones concert is rather lax. They even hired a bunch of Hell’s Angels to provide security at one of their concerts and you know how that went.”
“Don’t worry, I can take care of us,” I reassured her. “In the meantime, I’m getting hungry. Let’s head out to dinner. Can you grab my jacket off the hanger?”
“Sure,” she said, “As long as you’ll agree to going to see Garth Brooks with me.”
“Fine,” I said, “as long as you’ll agree to go to the Stones concert with me!”

This, That, and the Other 
I prefer country music, but I also recently because of a series I follow have listened to death metal.

I don’t even like heavy metal, so I am sure that I would not like death metal.

Well done! I don’t think I could take either of those performers in concert doses (this is fiction anyway, right?) at any time of my life. Probably only the Beatles or Motown. I said that as if you asked! 😉

You mean — the Stones still give concerts? Yikes. Bring on the walkers.
