Only in Jacksonville...

Wow. Ya mean Alabama had their farewell concert and I missed it?

Of particular interest to me was this portion of the article:

Donna Gallagher was there, front and center, with her friend Melissa Brock. They came up in a limo from Bunnell, a tiny town in Flager County.

"When this is done we better have their sweat all over us," Brock said. She was giddy and excited, plus the partying had already begun hours before with an open bar in the limo.

At a $1,000 a hit, they hadn't done anything like this before.

"We're new money," said Gallagher, with a cackle. Her husband was hit by a dump truck and they received a hefty settlement, she said. So, they sat with their VIP passes around their necks and their husbands, not six feet under, but three rows in back of them.

"If you have the money," said Gallagher in a rich Southern twang, "might as well have fun with it."

Oh yeah. Lemme tell ya... if I got hit by a dumptruck, and got myself a hefty settlement, I sure as hell wouldn't blow a grand on Alabama concert tickets.

Now playing: "Maggie May" - Rod Stewart
