Tool, TD Garden, 1/28/2012
"Even at 50; he still breaks drumheads" said Tool’s vocalist Maynard James Keenan in reference to Danny Carey’s intense style of play after their first song. This was my fourth Tool show since 2001 and I find it amazing that the four members of the band are between 45-50 years old and manage to play as hard as they do.

Steven Tyler Cracked Voice – I Don’t Care
It's a sad week for this Baltimore Ravens fan, but hey, I've still got my Natty Boh and Old Bay to keep me happy. The New England Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens to gain entry to the Super Bowl.
