Incubus!

For as long as there has been a moon and a sun, or at least as far as my knowledge of those existing has been around, I have housed a very enthusiastic love for the band Incubus.  Their music has gotten me through many life moments and the song "Drive" has an inexpressible amount of importance to me.  I firmly believe everyone should discover a song that connects with them in an intellectual and deep way.  Having a bad day?  Song time.  Having a great day?  Song time.  Eating an ice cream cone and it's melting all over your pants?  Song time.  

Needless to day, "Drive" is my go-to song.  When I hosted my campus radio show at WRFW --www.pureradio887.com...check it out, it's the right choice for radio :) -- there was always an Incubus song of the day, usually preceded by my suddenly over the top excitement for the next artist in the line-up.

I'm a music advocate and eager concert-goer, but have yet to attend an Incubus concert.  Turns out the band is about to launch on tour again to promote the drop of a new album.  This leads to one very excited educated female.  The kicker--those tickets to the closest concert (Chicago) are not in the realm of affordable.  Since I missed their tour in 2009 I've been awaiting this announcement...and here I am, unable to attend because of the tightness of my recently graduated wallet.  The irony, the agony, the angst!  Alright, that was a little dramatic, but I have a point to drive home before curfew, here.

I want to see Incubus.  The chance is there, the odds are stacked against it happening.  What's a girl to do?
