For those of you who have been with me awhile, you are well aware our 3 year old, MiniMac, is a bit of a budding rockstar. A path we are highly encouraging (except for that full drum kit my older brother bought him from Seattle Percussion that resides at Grammy's house...we are not encouraging a full drum kit in our house. Yet.) One of MiniMac's favorite bands is The Eagles. From the playlist to the guy who plays the trumpet (Billy Armstrong) our son loves the music, the songs, and even crazy Joe Walsh who wears a yellow hard hat on stage.
And what may come to be a quintessential moment in our son's life, JohnnyMac bought VIP tickets for us to take Mini to see The Eagles tomorrow night. Yes, we have earphones and I even have a police issue noise reduction sharpshooter headset for him. (Thank you Grandpa.) To say our son is beside himself to go to this concert, well, it is an understatement. I remember the very first concert my parents took me to see: John Cougar Mellencamp. I was 13 and loved every minute of it. Had I been cooler, or able to play the frets like our son has been known to do, perhaps I could have gone a decade earlier. So cheers to great experiences that shape us. When our son grows up we will know if tomorrow night was one of his. And if we needed proof he is a true Eagles fan, here it is. Have a gorgeous weekend. I know we will.
Oh, he is just too cute! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHe is beyond adorable! And of course very cool! And he's grown since his last appearance on your blog, slow down MiniMac :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool to be going to see The Eagles, have a wonderful time - it's so great you are taking him to the concert.
From his No.1 British fan :)
Oh, you are going to have such a great time! The Eagles were at ACL this year, but alas, we could not attend. One of my favorite bands. MiniMac has good taste (natch). The video is adorable, I love the way he channeled the Beatles/Elvis at the end with his little yeah, yeah, yeah and hip wiggle :) Not to give away my ancient status or anything, but my first concert was the Jackson Five LOL Kat
ReplyDeleteOMG JM! He's the cutest!!! I'm a huge Eagles fan too - Rock on MiniMac!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You guys are the GOOD parents. Expose him to the greatness of music now and hopefully it'll last a lifetime. Have fun Mini-Man!
ReplyDeleteSharer
I especially love the mmmm...mmmm's. too cute.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was going to see the Eagles!!!!

Watch out - you have a heartbreaker on your hands! Seriously, he's so cute! My favorite part? The end definitely!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so awesome! I love the Eagles! He's going to have SO much fun!
ReplyDeleteOur boys are into the Beatles. It's all I'm "allowed" to listen to in the car with them (which really cuts into my Glee cast songs if I'm being honest). My father-in-law is a burned out hippie, so I called our photographer and even had her do Beatles themed pictures of them last month.
I'm totally jealous! I'd go to an Eagles concert in a heart beat!
And we readers will be able to say "wow, I knew that star when he was just a little strummer."
ReplyDeleteI hope he enjoys it.
He'll be supplying the heartache in a few years....The Eagles are from my generation...the baby boomers...It is wonderful that their music still makes them sing...mmmm..mm.
ReplyDeleteOh he melts my heart! How do you get anything done with him around? The smooches must be endless.
ReplyDeleteAnd good-mom job for keeping him cool with the Eagles and not this new crap they put on the air and call music.
ADORABLE! Have fun! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
ReplyDeleteNo heartache tonight - only joy! So fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! How awesome is THAT kid?! My parents raised me on The Eagles as well but I don't know all the words to that song. Kudos MiniMac!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the concert!
OMG how cute is he? He is the coolest 3 year old EVER!
ReplyDeleteHa! He is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteHe's got it down. Imagine him in a few years!
ReplyDeleteOMG, he is so freaking cute! I'm super impressed. Ya'll are going to have such a blast!
ReplyDeleteI just want to put him in my pocket!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Eagles.
ReplyDeletethat is awesome! he is so adorable. I hope you all have a fabulous time at the concert. I think the smile this left on my face is going stick around for awhile
ReplyDeleteI love the little bit at the end. He is precious. Have a blast at the concert
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute you just want to eat him up! lol Definitely a budding rock star!
ReplyDeleteI think its awesome to take kids to concerts. I took my soccerboy to his first one at age 14 . we went to see AC DC , 3 row front the stage. it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteHe is so awesome! I like the Eagles too!
ReplyDeleteHe's SO cute! enjoy the concert!
ReplyDeleteThat was truly an LOL moment! Precious boy, lucky momma.
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking about going tomorrow night too. Should be a great show. I'm sure MiniMac will love it! Don't forget your cocktail.
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty epic. Have a nice time at the Hotel California.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! He is too cute for words and we have something in common ~ I too love the Eagles. I finally got to see them 2 years ago and it was a dream come true for me. I kept calling it my date with Don ~ have a blast!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest thing I have seen today! Hope he enjoys the concert!! And that you guys enjoy it as well!
ReplyDeleteHe is just awesome! And adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so cool if someone in The Eagles camp saw this. It might get MiniMac some special attention.
ReplyDeleteYou never know...stranger things have happened.
What a cutie! He is going to cause some "heartaches" in his lifetime! I bet the concert will be awesome. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDang! I adore him! I can't believe how good he's getting! AND how much bigger he is! WOW!
ReplyDeleteJennyMac, on a side-note, I was laughing my butt off as I read this story and thought, as an attorney, you'd get a kick out of it. Talk about a huge settlement.

Have a great time at the concert.
ReplyDeleteP.S. We're about the same age and I can remember seeing John Mellencamp in concert back in the day too. LOL.
Minimac is the bomb.
ReplyDeleteI made everybody watch....how cute!!!!!!! He's something else, JMac!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious and adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the Eagles, too.
This had to be a day that will go down in history ~ MiniMac, the soaring begins!
ReplyDeleteOh man....I see things like that and think...what am i doing wrong? My kids don't even know how to hold a guitar, and they don't know any songs from the radio, except a little hanah, and Justin Bieber. Your little mini man is adorable, and there is nothing better than a 3 year old "playing" guitar and singing with the musical riffs included! LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just dying to hear how the concert turned out for him. Was he able to stay awake that late, AND be nice still?
That is great! And soooo much better than Yo Gabba Gabba tunes.
ReplyDeleteMiniMac has groupies already!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get tickets to his first concert? I'm an old fart but I'll stay awake for that stage show!
:)
The Eagles are my all time, absolute favorite group, EVER!
ReplyDeleteWe saw them in Houston about 4 years ago and it was wonderful! 2 1/2 hours of nothing but solid gold hits.
I bet MiniMac has a ball and if your not careful JohnnyMac and you could have a great time as well! ;-)
(John and I went to see John Cougar Mellencamp about 3 years ago as well!)
