They better get mints. Has Been Nation perform. Every New Year's, a legion of recycled rockers finds work somewhere. REO Speedwagon is playing at something called the Fremont Street Experience. In Las Vegas, naturally.
Nothing is good.
Nothing keeps you off the streets, away from Y2Knuckleheads, lots of whom feel just like I do, but won't admit it. The only time I want to be on a city street with half a million strangers is if somebody's above me in a helicopter, dropping me a gift certificate for eternal life and a woman who looks like Ashley Judd. I'm not worried survivalists are plotting to emerge from their bunkers in Montana to kill me for my granola. It's just that nobody's going to tell me to get happy if I'm not in the mood. If history serves, I won't be.
