In their never-ending quest to provide you with hard-hitting journalism, "Cosmopolitan" magazine just put out a list of Things Men Think Are Overrated.  Some of them might surprise you.  Here they are . . .
 
#1.)  THE SMELL OF PERFUME.  It's okay, but "Cosmo" says guys prefer the smell of a woman's HAIR.

#2.)  A GIRL WHO WATCHES FOOTBALL.  If a woman truly likes football, that's great.  But if she's just watching it because she thinks a guy wants her to, it's a waste of time.  Guys appreciate the effort . . . but they're fine watching it alone.

#3.)  PICNICS.  Eating outside is great, but men prefer cookouts.  If you give a guy the choice between eating a sandwich out of a wicker basket, or a hamburger off a flaming grill, he'll almost ALWAYS choose the grill.

#4.)  BED AND BREAKFASTS.  Men prefer ANY other form of lodging.  At a bed and breakfast, the rooms are "cute" . . . which means they're LAME . . . breakfast is served WAY too early, and all the other guests are old.

#5.)  DOUBLE DATES.  They're usually a little awkward.  WOMEN are the ones who set them up, so they've at least got one friend there to talk to.  But the two guys are complete strangers.  And not all men can bond instantly.

#6.)  MAKE-UP SEX.  Guys think it's overrated because they hate fighting almost as much as they love sex, so there's really not much of a net gain with make-up sex.  And guys like regular sex just as much.

Last Nights Green Day/Bravery show can be summed up in two words; ARENA ROCK!!

Green Day came out on a mission to make sure there was not one person who left the sold out TD Garden (what happened to the bank?) without feeling they just saw a genuine rock show.  Green Day played several new songs off 21st Century Breakdown which included the title track, Know Your Enemy, Static Age, East Jesus Nowhere which had a cameo by the now famous Henry (kid pulled on stage after Billie Joe screamed for an adult to give him their child… in a non creepy way). Green Day also put together one heck of a medley that included King for a Day, Shout, I’ll Be There, & Stand By Me.

There is nothing like seeing a 90’s band that is still at it, with numerous songs you know. Green Day had me and the rest of the Garrrden bouncing for 2 & ½ hours. Openers the Bravery who I was really excited to take a big stage didn’t disappoint either. They brought there New York swagger and slick guitar and synth riffs.

Here are some of the negatives of the night. Green Day definitely captured the arena rock, but over killed the “Hey OOOOOOOOOOOOO” and they mentioned Boston and or Massachusetts 21 times (fitting with their latest singles 21 Guns). Also mass chaos broke out when Billie Joe ask for several hundred people to come to the floor. That was awesome for those who got let onto the floor, it wasn’t awesome when the aisle were packed of fans wanting to get there.  The guy sitting in front of me let these three (lets just say attractive… is that politically correct?) underage girls sit in front of me. So I had the every so often “good view” as these girls also came to rock!

After the show ended I was driving (while listening to the Radio 929 encore which featured Green Day songs for the ride home), and was pulled over. The Cop pulled up next to him and told me if I was going to drive like an (American) idiot I shouldn’t do so near a Police car.  He ended with a great quote “Here is a little piece of advice… use your head” then he drove off.
