George Thorogood  and the Destroyers Move it on Over was one of the first Cd's I'd ever listened to and ever since then he's become one of my favorite musical acts. So when I saw an ad for Taste of Minnesota that said George Thorogood and the Destroyers were coming I freaked out. We arrived at Harriet Island early because I wanted to make sure I was up close to the stage. I saw a stand selling George Thorogood and the Destroyers T shirts. My mom would not let me get the I drink alone or One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer shirt because of the alcohol reference. So instead I got the Move it on over T shirt.   GB Leighton was to perform first. I Liked the show since it was my first time seeing him preform. Then GB finished and they started setting up for George. I was right there hearing George play all his hits like Bad to the Bone,Who do you Love and I Drink alone to name a few. It was one of the best concerts ever. Best of all it was free.
I have just learned of the death of Gerry Rafferty. Rafferty Was born in Scotland in 1947. He first started out with the band Stealers Wheel who is most known for the hit Stuck in the Middle with You. After he departed from Stealers he had a successful solo career with the album City to City which in 1978 went to one on the charts with the hits Baker Street and Right down the line. After City to City he released seven more albums. Gerry Rafferty died at the age of 63 on 4 January 2011 of liver failure.
