After an anti-drug PSA of sorts (which, judging from the smirking band members and chuckling fans, we're guessing was kind of tongue in cheek), Social D broke out into "Nickels and Dimes," warning the youngsters in the crowd to learn from the older men's mistakes and stay away from lives filled with drugs and violence.

The night wasn't without its tender moments, though. During "Let the Jukebox Keep Playing," a couple behind us started dancing. While some have called Ness's music a tad one-note and a bit too straightforward, its simplicity isn't without its nuances.

There was no encore, but after an hour and 45 minutes of nonstop rock and roll, while we would have been happy to hear it, the crowd was plenty satisfied.

Word is that these punk rockers have another album in the works for fans. And judging from Friday night's sold-out show, their eighth studio album will sell even better than their last, Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, which is their highest-debuting LP to date.

Personal Bias: I'm not exactly a geezer, but I haven't left a concert that sore in quite some time. Thanks for making me feel like a teenager again, Social D.

Overheard in the Crowd: "Why are all the people crowd-surfing fat?"

Random Notebook Dump: A snippet from Social Distortion's Web site we found after the show:

Although our paths never crossed, we've always had great respect for the Beastie Boys. Adam Yauch was a pioneer and a visionary who helped shape the world of music as we know it today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Adam's family and friends. You'll be missed, but never forgotten.
