I'm Just a Girl


My mom fell in love with this song when I was in the fourth or fifth grade, the song was Spiderwebs, by a band called No Doubt. Over the years she has always loved them- she especially identified with the lead singer, Gwen Stefani. She also LOVES contributing to charities. So imagine the happy joy my brother and I had upon discovering the not only was No Doubt getting back together- they were going on tour- and their tour started in our very own town, at Tiger Jam (a charity concert for the Tiger Woods Foundation). The perfect birthday present for the mother who has EVERYTHING. Last night was the concert. We had a blast. The opening act was a band called The Sounds- I'd never heard them before but I'm sure some of you have. Then Paramore went on and rocked the house. Finally, Ben Rothlesburger and Tiger Woods came out and introduced the main attraction. The highlight of the evening was when they played Running to a video montage of them in their early days...I love sentimental crap like that. The only draw back was that either Paramore or No Doubt, maybe both has a large following of PDA prone lesbian couples...it was very distracting. There was also this older couple a few rows in front of us and the wife kept reaching down and rubbing her hand ALL over her husbands butt. My little brother and I were scarred for life. Seriously people, no one wants to see you all over another person in public- if you can't keep your hands off each other, get a room instead of concert tickets. I'm just saying. Over all, it was a very enjoyable evening and relatively good family fun. And yes, I actually took a couple of pictures... be proud.
