I always say "rock star parking" when I find a great spot, just because when I first heard the expression it made no sense.

The best show I ever saw was Buck Owens. It is not just that I like his type of music, it was a great performance. He really rocked. Great guitar playing, amazing version of dueling banjos, trading solos with everyone in the band. I had a friend who drove a truck between SF and Bakersfield. He saw Owens many times, but said that was the best show he had seen.

I have seen so many bands, I have forgotten most of them. This year, I actually started writing them down. All different types of music, and many great shows, but Buck Owens was the best.

I'm selective with the term. For me it's a parking space with literally the fewest steps to the door. So if it's across the sidewalk from a business entrance, there may be only two spots that If I get one, I'll say smugly "rock star <i>parking</i>."

I think I'll spin some Buck on the show tonight.

I never saw him live. The only guys of that generation I've ever seen are Willie, Merle and George.
