I Would Have Never Forecasted This One - Thompson Twins & Culture Club at Foxwoods

Tunga's favorite musicians this last year have been Pat Benatar and Culture Club, both who have played at venues in Connecticut this summer. The Benatar tickets were a little pricy, but the Boy George ones were reasonable and he never attended a concert before.

So, last night we went to see the Thompson Twins and Culture club live and in concert at Mohegan Sun: the kid, Rhiannon, Pam, Kaitlyn and me. I would have bypassed the entire experience, but Pam got the tickets and it was a great first concert (I remember my experience with Meatloaf in Binghamton - a first concert needs to be something surreal).

We got home super late, so I'll keep this post short: (1) I knew a lot more Thompson Twins songs than I realized and (2) Boy George has better pipes than I ever realized. I guess I never recognized the funk, punk, island fusion, reggae influences to his music, but he highlighted many of them last night with his band and back up singers. I can only imagine that the back stores are out of this world and much of his life was a hot mess (that would be my guess).

Still, he gave a fantastic concert and it was fun watching everyone sing along. I expected more crazy in the crowd, but it was rather subdued. Only a few rainbow braids in fedoras. If 1985 Bryan was ever to predict a 2018 Bryan, he would have never thought he'd be at a Culture Club concert or viewing Boy George live. But, that's what happen and the kid was happy because of it.

That's what it's all about.
