I’ve been a fan of Jerry Seinfeld for over 30 years, but until last night I’d actually seen him perform live only twice.

(Pause for effect.)

Make that now three after last night’s show at Wolf Trap, conveniently located 10 minutes down the road from my house.

There’s not much I can say at this point about why Jerry’s musings upon life are and have been so spot on the past few decades. He’s got a certain comedic insightfulness and has been poking fun at the world now professionally for 50 years. He knows what he’s doing in pointing out our flaws. He’s very happy… hating everything.

As many of us do, I find myself thinking the same quite often.

And even though I was in the last row and could barely see the stage (thank God for the jumbotrons because basically I was at a drive-in movie) I enjoyed hearing every bit. The new ones about AI, etc. were good, yes, but it was the classics I came to hear. (Nobody goes to hear the Rolling Stones for their new stuff.) Bits about ’90s TV shows and latenite infomercials? That’s gold, Jerry. Gold.

Though we’ve never actually met, Jerry Seinfeld to me is like the good friend I get to hang out with once every few years.

Hope to do it again soon.
