Welcome to another hilarious and nostalgia-filled episode of Welcome to the Suburbs Podcast! This week, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with stories about concerts, classic rock, and aging gracefully—or not so gracefully.
Andy and Jennifer hit the road to Nashville, Indiana, this fall to see April Wine in concert. Along the way, they encountered what they dubbed faux po pos: police cars in construction zones with their lights on but no officers in sight. Just a clever deterrent? You decide.
The night kicked off with Sweet, known for their hit “Love Is Like Oxygen.” The irony wasn’t lost on anyone as many concertgoers arrived equipped with oxygen tanks, walkers, and canes. It begs the question: Is Flomax the unofficial sponsor of aging rock fans?
Meanwhile, Greg reminisced about smuggling Southern Comfort into concerts in the hood of his parka back in high school and college. He fondly called it a “baby bird waiting for a worm—tequila not included.” Andy chimed in with a shocking confession: he once snuck a camera into a concert! Greg’s own attempt at playing paparazzi during a Foreigner show led to his camera’s temporary imprisonment in “concert jail,” alongside bags of confiscated pot and liquor.
As for Foreigner? Andy had to ask: Was it real Foreigner or fake Foreigner? Greg replied, “Foreigner when Foreigner was Foreigner.” Did it feel like the first time? Spoiler alert: No.
