Angela can be very persuasive when she wants to be. But yeah, I'll savor that interaction long after the ink from the picture has faded. @ Andre: Man, was it a fight.

Instead of having an artifact, you have a great story about a memorable human interaction. Too bad you weren't able to dredge up those moving words at the right time, but now they're here for him and the world to see.

Stories have always played a vital historic role in relaying wisdom, imagination, hope and personal experience. The problem so often is that we think our stories have no relevance. We're not important enough or we're not a good enough writer. But nothing could be further from the truth. Everybody is a story teller with something to offer so bring on those yarns I say!

I say that because I know that I have at least one reader who cares more about stories like this than some of the other stuff I do - so when I run across a good story that I think may not be a good blog post, I think "Kelly may like this one." It gives me another outlet to have fun writing at PF. Yes, I still write for individual readers. Especially ones that are so supportive. @Naomi: Wow, thanks for stopping by and commenting. The concert was awesome - 17,000 Jack fans singing along. And I particularly like the Curious George CD - I just watched it last night, too. Yet another bond we share. @Kelly: I actually have to thank you for giving me a space to write this story.

Damn. Anyway, Jack Johnson rules my world and I came very close to selling my soul to see him in Toronto. It was awesome. Even my Jack adores his Curious George CD. So Jack, if you got the Google Alert, hi, and thanks from Canada too. We used to play your albums to our little guy when he was in ICU. I don't know if it made a difference to him, but it sure made one to us.

It's a shame you didn't get to say what you wanted to, but moments of intense emotion or surprise will always leave people speechless. It's like a bad break-up where days afterwards you think of all the things you wanted to say in the final moments, but didn't. The important thing is his music helped you, and it's a cool story. Thanks Charlie.
