A lie and a whisper, a knife in my back, back, back

What the hell is Don Dokken offering us anyway? Well, according to Max, who was the biggest Dokken fan I knew growing up, a piss poor concert. Don Dokken and his merry band of Dokkeniers are slated for a March 4th visit to the Tall City which has many people in town excited. Obviously, the glory days of Dokken and their brand of music has come and gone but there are still a lot of people in Midland that live in the 80s. Sad, yes. True, very. Nevertheless, as I talked to Max about a trip up from The Concho City to see his favorite childhood band, he bristled and said, "I'm not wasting my money on that tool, Don Dokken". I knew Max was still bitter about Dokken and former guitarist George Lynch's decades old feud but I got the feeling he'd rather stay home and watch The Office on Thursday the 4th than come up and hang with Alex and I. Anyway, after a little talking him off the ledge, I convinced him to make the trip. I'm sure he'll enjoy it, even with the years of bitterness he has running through his veins. Not to mention, we really need Max's fireman training because the opening act is Great White and they do have a history of killing their fans in firey blazes. Alex suggested we stand close to the exit and I tend to agree.
