You know a band and its audience is aging just by the venue it chooses to play. An ad for the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa "on beautiful Clear Lake" has an amazing lineup of "Where are they now?" bands, including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foghat, ZZ Top, and Quiet Riot.

We at the Pepper asked, over our morning cups of tea, "What on earth is Southern rednecker hick-rock act Lynyrd Skynyrd doing performing at a 'resort and spa'? Contradiction, anyone?"

So we visited the Konocti website, where they promised that you can "Feel the tension dissolve under the touch of a trained professional massage therapist ..."

... and then go scream 'Free Bird' to your heart's delight? Okay, seeing Huey Lewis and the News after a shiatsu treatment makes sense ... that's all very adult contemporary, but Skynyrd? Sure, the spa might be for the wifey and the Skynyrd for hubby, but the fact that it's all available under one roof is a little odd, dontcha think?

PS - we at the Pepper saw the real rock band Silkworm Friday night. They were so real that one of the band members stripped down to his boxers to play drums, which was quite a sight. And the audience was so classy ... not one person screamed "Play some Skynyrd!"
