The Hard Luck Five return much to the delight of...me.

Saturday, February 19, Jack Leto celebrated his 70th Birthday and the only wish he had was that Rye Coalition play for his birthday.

Honestly, I should have come up with this idea on my 40th. I'm jealous I didn't think of it.

So me & a few friends headed to Maxwell's in Hoboken for the sold out show and me being the genius I am forgot earplugs. My ears are still ringing.

The show was amazing. I don't know if there has ever been a better live show. These guys haven't played together in five years, but the energy - the enthusiasm and the talent was overwhelming. I still can't believe I get to know these people and get to call them friends. Amazing night. Happy Birthday, Mr. Leto. I hope to be as cool as you one day. 70 yrs old in the mosh pit and I had to stand back against the wall for fear of getting hit. You sir, are a legend.
