Sorry I've been neglecting my duties lately. I've been a bit busy. Plus I took a little time off to catch a show.
In my younger years, I was a long-haired heavy metal type. I listened to about everything, but my favorite album of the time was Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime."
I saw the band about 15 years ago at the War Memorial, and it still ranks among the best shows I've seen. So when I heard they'd be performing "Operation Mindcrime" at Turning Stone Resort and Casino's Showroom, I had to go. For nostalgia's sake, mostly, but also to see a live act at that venue.
If you haven't seen a show there yet, get some tickets. It's an intimate room and there's not a bad seat in the house. You get up close and personal with the performers...
