Rams Head The Blog

To the Point! I have been to many a reggae show in what I like to call the brief (ehmm) span of time I have graced this green earth. Without a doubt it’s the most enticing of music genres.  It stirs one of humanities most intrinsic compulsions. I will be the first to tell you I fully support an individual’s subscription to their own personal policy on hedonistic behavior. Maybe it fits into a spreadsheet, I dunno. Try that on for size, Excel!

Back to the point, my all-time best reggae inspired show was Reggae on the Harbor, summer of 2007 at the Pier Six Pavilion. I was electrified. My body felt carbonated.  I needed to move closer and feel those decibels really coming at me.  The irresponsible show-goer in me took over and I managed, magically, to find myself in the front row. BAM! Decibels coming at me and I was down right possessed!  Hands stretched upward to the stage, bringing those vibes right in my finger tips.

Before I knew it I was squished into a front row seat with a fellow concert-goer, stirring my watery rum runner because I couldn’t be bothered to take a sip for fear of missing a beat.  (No idea where my straw had gone.  *Note to self don’t lose your straw in the front row.)  Taking a moment to realize our surroundings this dread-doning individual and myself quickly turned towards each other, blinked once, exchanged smiles, and went right back to the vibes, arm in arm.

Remember, first, to do as I say not as I do.

The majority of people in the front row may not want a carbonated stranger in their lap. Just a guess.”

BUT the UB40 show at Rams Head Live on May 6^th is general admission so the front row is up for grabs.  Awesome! Just be careful of my elbow room, I need space to groove! And careful of my rum runner (and straw)! The rum runners are half priced for this UB40  show, as are Bud and Bud Light drafts so go Ram wild! Mwuahaha!
