Cowboy Mouth concert worth every penny
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to Mr.McKeever's letter in Wednesday's Viewpoint section, I would like to defend Cowboy Mouth to all the people who may have read his letter but didn't get a chance to come see the show tonight. Far from being a "struggling, washed-up, one-hit wonder," Cowboy Mouth is a wonderful collection of musicians and people who love what they do and love making other people feel great. True, I was in the majority of people who weren't terribly familiar with their music and could sing along to maybe two or three songs, but that didn't stop me from having a great time. Mr. McKeever's letter is indicative of a trend I have noticed in my short time here at Notre Dame. People need to realize that just because something is not wildly popular or well-known, doesn't mean that it can't be pretty cool. IT'S OKAY TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY NOW AND THEN. I did, and I think I'm a better person for it. I would even go so far as to say that the money I spent on my ticket is the best $10 I have spent here. I'd like to share some wisdom with the people who weren't there last night — I know many people were studying and doing what you normally do on Wednesday nights — so here are the secrets to happiness, according to Fred, Cowboy Mouth's frontman:
1) Life is too short to spend with someone who doesn't realize how special you are.
2) Life is too short to spend it doing something that isn't fun.
3) No matter what anybody tells you, if you believe in yourself, NOTHING is impossible!
God bless you all. He certainly has blessed me.
