    Default I'm contemplating dropping a class just so I can go see Neil Young on Weds.

    I love Neil Young, always have. His music was very special to both myself and my mom, and I doubt I'll ever get the chance to see him again. Unfortunately, going would require my dropping one of my classes. I'd get no money back, but honestly I've been thinking about dropping it anyways. I really dislike it and I'm actually having a hard time doing the work and understanding what's going on, which is very rare for me. It won't extend my graduation or anything, as I need to take an extra semester anyways to finish school anyways.

    The thing is, I cannot think of another concert I want to see more than this one, there are still tickets left, and this may well be his final tour. On my death bed I doubt I'll lay there thinking, "goddamn I'm glad I finished that cultural anthropology class", but I'll sure as shit lay there thinking how great it was to see Neil.

    Thoughts?

    Its not everyday you get the chance to see Neil Young.

    Neil Young is great. An underrated album of his for me is Silver and Gold, just acoustics and piano, some lovely simple songwriting.

    I agree. I was at my girlfriends mom's house for dinner tonight, and her brother called from the Neil Young show in Calgary, and listening to the music in the background killed me. I have to see him, fuck school and fuck the money - at least that's how I'm thinking ATM.

    It's not like he's going to be around much longer, he had an aneurysm a year ago.

    Like I said, his music was incredibly meaningful to my mom, and thus to me, so I think I'd really regret not going.

    Have you missed that class before or something or is the concert on the day of a final or something? I would say fuck the class if I thought it was Nickatina's last tour of something. That is like a period of my life, I would go. So yeah, do it. That's my advice. Straight talk express.

    I have a midterm for the class on Fri, and I'm certain to bomb it if I go to the show. Hell, I'll probably bomb it anyways.

    There's not much else I'd drop a class for. If it was a class I enjoyed or that I felt I was doing well in, I would have a tougher time deciding, but the class sucks and I'm really not understanding much of it at all to be honest. I'll probably have to drop it after I bomb the midterm. I'm pretty much a straight A student too, so this is a bit of a strange situation to be in.

    As for it being a family event, it will not I'm afraid as my mom passed away a little longer than 1 year ago, which is the main reason I really want to go. I love Neil, and it would be a very emotional experience. In a good way.

    I owe you reps, I have to spread some around first.

    You bastards are great. When I started this thread I thought I was going to get a bunch of people calling me an idiot for thinking of dropping that class.

    I'm about 99% sure I'm going to go.
