The Daily Douz

Well, it’s official. Today, about 12:26 pm, Michael Jackson had a cardiac arrest and was not breathing when rushed to the hospital in LA. They were unable to revive him. Some news reports are saying he was in a coma. But check out all these news articles: TMZ reports Michael Jackson died, Michael taken to hospital, Michael Jackson, and one to confirm his death: Michael hospitalized. Sad. In the span of three days, we’ve lost Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett AND Michael Jackson. RIP to all three.

So Butch and I and Butch’s oldest daughter, Kaylee, went to the concert on May 25th, 2009. We got 2 free tickets from winning on the radio and we bought one ticket the night before the concert so we could all go together.

And then here is Butch and his oldest, Kaylee, who is 14 currently.

Here is Paramore between songs:

Gwen went into the crowd during one song

Adrian Young at the front of the stage. He’s the drummer but he had a single drum attached to his shoulders so he could walk around to the front.

And No Doubt on stage:

I LOVED this concert! The Sounds played first, then Paramore (and YES they sang the Twilight song – Decode!!!!! And everyone, including ME, freaked out!!!!), and then grand finale with No Doubt!!!

I screamed so much that night that I pretty much lost my voice the next day and was sore from dancing so much. But that’s what it’s all about, right?! I’m so glad No Doubt is back together again and I don’t care they don’t have any NEW music to perform for us yet. They still put on an AWESOME show and I love them!!
