After I dragged my die hard rock and roll son to a Keith concert, he came out saying..."D*** he's good. That was one great concert."<br /><br />I was so elated to be at the AFTH concert where Keith was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry. No one deserved it more. I am addicted to that man and his music.Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-54264499812397881432012-04-23T06:01:59.137-05:002012-04-23T06:01:59.137-05:00Thanks for all your great comments.

It's so important to follow your bliss, whatever, wherever it is. Glad you have found yours in Keith Urban. Sounds like a good guy, one who truly appreciates his fans.monicastangledwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311906301829091998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-30086005747873302432012-04-20T23:54:03.196-05:002012-04-20T23:54:03.196-05:00Olga, I loved your ballet story.

I don't know how they survive without chances to see him live.<br /><br />Tami, like you I have many passions. I think I have to pick one and stick with it for a while. Alas, it's really not reasonable to devote hours a day to Keith Urban, so I guess I'll do writing.Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-64622679585301710142012-04-20T15:48:44.695-05:002012-04-20T15:48:44.695-05:00I have so many passions right now that I would tak...I have so many passions right now that I would take up way too much space in your comments section listing them all. Writing is my main focus, but also learning and absorbing as much as possible about anything and everything that interests me. Keith Urban's concerts sound so wonderful. I'll have to go next time I hear he's out west.Tami Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270751386180642544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-60937732242100423172012-04-20T12:42:09.612-05:002012-04-20T12:42:09.612-05:00Julie, great post. I’m not a fan of Keith Urban or...Julie, great post. I’m not a fan of Keith Urban or country music, but I know passion and I understand your elation when you attend his concerts.<br />When I was young and lived in Moscow, I loved ballet passionately, although I never danced myself. I had a like-minded friend, and together we went to the Bolshoi theatre a few times a month to see every ballet show, performed by every ballerina of the Bolshoi. We discussed the merits and faults of all the dancers. We often visited a smaller ballet theatre in Moscow and all the ballet performances by guest dancers and guest troupes. I bought books about ballet dancers and ballet history. Wherever I traveled on vacation, I tried to see a local ballet show, if possible. If I didn’t attend a ballet in a month, I felt empty: something was missing. I spent all my money on tickets, the money other young women spent on clothing. Ballet made my otherwise dull life rich.<br />Then I moved to Vancouver, and the situation changed. There is no classical ballet here, the local modern dance company is very mediocre, and the only classical ballet Vancouver ever sees is Winnipeg or Alberta Ballet; both troupes rather below the Bolshoi theatre level. I stopped going to the ballet. Although I missed it, after a few ballet-less years I thought myself cured of my passion. Then, a couple months age, Cuban National Ballet came here with a classical ballet Don Quixote. Of course I went. Cuban ballet is renowned for the quality of its dancers. How glad I was that I went. It was fantastic. I felt elation for days afterwards. I guess there is no ‘cure’ for this kind of addiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-62844183741630621152012-04-20T12:26:12.364-05:002012-04-20T12:26:12.364-05:00Hey, Julie!

I can't think of any other artist who warms our hearts and crawls inside our souls quite like Keith does. His music truly expresses our life experiences, and that's why we all relate so much to and with him. What a beautiful spirit he is!<br /><br />Sorry you aren't joining Edna and me in Nashville this weekend for the Opry induction... we'll catch you at another show, though!<br /><br />Linda WLinda Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938780022580462977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-64609669213747134582012-04-20T12:16:36.610-05:002012-04-20T12:16:36.610-05:00Wow!

It sounded like you were describing me and dozens of other monkeys who "follow" him. From your pictures, I think I was standing in about your spot on the opposite side for the breakfast and AFTH. Never tought I'd be this way over a musician, but Keith is so spiritual and generous that it is impossible not to become addicted to the feeling I get being in his presence. Headed off after work to Nashville for the Opry induction. May God continue to bless Keith Urban.Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-46308328969086983642012-04-20T11:15:58.534-05:002012-04-20T11:15:58.534-05:00That man knows how to have fun and it's addict...That man knows how to have fun and it's addicting.

It's worth the time and expense of travel. And Meri, following a passion doesn't have to come in big steps. Starting this blog was my first - little - step to a writing life. I have a long way to go, but each step gets less scary now. Don't you think Keith was afraid on his first trip to Nashville to make his dream come true?Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-3530750770410243542012-04-20T08:27:42.483-05:002012-04-20T08:27:42.483-05:00Thank you for the beautiful words.

It's obvious from watching his performances, that he's a passionate musician, but I didn't know any of the details you shared about just how caring & giving he is to his fans!Elaine Smothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805835368009043407noreply@blogger.com
