Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls Summer Anthem Tour was the first concert of my life, and it was everything I could have hoped for. I saved up for five months to make this happen, and they made every bit of it worthwhile. Seeing John Rzeznik so close, I wanted to scream thank you for making music that carried me through some of my hardest days. One of the most beautiful moments? John helping someone propose and playing "Come to Me." I literally cried during Black Balloon and that song. It was also really sweet of the band to keep their end of the bargain despite John's recent health problems. We’re really thankful. I don’t know if it was just me, or maybe a concert thing, but there was a certain rush to it. John only took a few minutes to connect with the audience, and I kind of wished there was a little more time to soak it all in. One thing that surprised me was that a lot of people didn’t seem to know many of the songs. Maybe they weren’t that familiar with Goo Goo Dolls' music? But hey, that didn’t stop me. I probably annoyed everyone around me by singing along to all my favorite songs and I have no regrets!!! Although I couldn't afford to meet them in person, I’m sure I don’t need a VIP seat to have a VIP heart for them.❤️
