Oooowee.
It took Joanie and Mickey Brown an hour to drive all the way from Jasper down to the Gwinnett Arena for the Eagles concert Thursday night, but they finally made it — with two hours to spare.
And with at least 11,998 more people on their way to the sold-out show, there was no need to take chances.
Laugh it up if you want to. The Eagles are serious business with this couple. The last time the Browns saw them at Philips Arena, Joanie was overwhelmed. She looked across the place and all she could see were people having a good time; "young, old, black, white, redneck and otherwise," she said, especially that drunk guy in the front row who kept yelling at Glenn Frey, "You the man, Glenn! You the man!" Like Frey could hear him over all the commotion.
The Browns have been fans forever. "Take it to the Limit" was Joanie's party song in college. Mickey Brown knows enough Eagles trivia to win a "Jeopardy" round. (Title of the song written after a certain band member had a well-publicized brush with the law.) Yes, Brown knows all the back story to "Dirty Laundry."
As English teachers, the Browns use Eagles lyrics from time to time in class, they said. Lines from "The Last Resort" work perfectly when Joanie teaches transcendentalism, she said. And Mickey is especially fond of the song when teaching introduction to poetry.
" 'To call some place paradise, kissing it goodbye' — beautiful," Mickey Brown said.
Much as they love "the third-selling band of all time," the Browns said they couldn't shell out the premium three-figure price for the best seats in the house. "Oh no, honey, we're teachers," Joanie Brown said. "And for that kind of money I'd better be able to reach out and touch Don Henley."
Scott Lingner, of Dunwoody, went full-tilt boogie. He got the good, VIP, all-access, really, really expensive seats for himself, wife Chris and 13-year-old daughter Michelle. Hours before Frey welcomed the house "to the Eagles' ongoing saga known as the Farewell Tour 1," Lingner was standing in the arena lobby, ready for an encore.
"The question is, 'How many more times are they gonna tour?' " Lingner said. "This may be the last time and we don't want to look back and say we missed it. And we want Michelle to experience our generation's music."
Michelle's musical tastes run toward Ashlee Simpson. Even so, she's gotten used to her dad cranking the car radio anytime one of the band's tunes comes on, particularly "Take it Easy."
"He's like, 'Oh, wow,' " she said, mimicking her father.
He just grinned.
So when Ashlee Simpson comes to town, is she going to return the favor and let her folks experience her generation's music?
"No, I'm taking my friends," Michelle said.
