2017 Indy 500-- Part 19: Of Cheeseburgers, Flying Horses and Space Cowboys

FRIDAY, MAY 26

The Steve Miller Band started right when they were scheduled to start at 5 p.m., something I really like.  I hate when a concert doesn't start on time and often it is just the performer(s) being egotistical.  The MC said, "Welcome Stevie Guitar and his band."

No big surprise, but Steve Miller is getting lots of gray hair, but, in his defense, he HAS been  around for a lot of years.  He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1943 and formed his band in 1966 and is still playing music.  I remember his first big hit, "Somebody Give Me A Cheeseburger," no "Living in the U.S.A." in 1968.

He comes on stage and says, "Nobody loves you like I love you."

Of course, we were so far back and blocked by tall people, but if you moved up a little you could see him on some huge screens on the side of the stage.

By now, the already wet ground was getting pretty muddy with everyone walking around.  I wasn't going to sit down in that mud, so stood.  And as I get older, standing for a long time is less of an option.

We had already seen them, but especially now we saw the "Space Cowboy" tee shirts with the famous flying horse logo of Steve Miller.  I was really tempted to buy a Steve Miller tee shirt, but already have WAY TOO many tee shirts.  Paul bought one, though.
