Cheese Curds and Musical Happy Place

Saw "Weird Al" last night and it was a happy time. Before the concert I partook of that Wisconsin Classic Dish known as Cheese Curds. Nothing like tasty, greasy, deep fried balls of cheese. If ever you are in the Dairy state you must make sure you have some.
Concerts are great. They are gatherings of folks who like the same music you do. You're from all walks of life and various steps on the social ladder but you all share that one common link, you like the same music, in this case it was "Weird Al". There really is nothing like singing a song with hundreds of other folks while your favorite artist is on stage is putting everything they have into their performance. There is an energy that cannot be matched easily. For those couple of hours everyone is equal and the world does not extend past the walls or fence of the auditorium. That's the magic of a concert.
