The ticket had been pinned to the bulletin board in my kitchen for three months. It wasn't just any ticket; it was the ticket. The ticket to my favorite band. The best arena rock band of all time, Queen. That little slip of paper was my entry to see Queen at Madison Square Garden in a few short days. The band was touring with Adam Lambert for the first leg of the Rhapsody Tour. I wasn't old enough to have seen the band in their heyday, but I have been a huge fan since I saw the movie Highlander in my teens. I'd collected everything they had ever released, most of it on vinyl and getting to see them live was the capstone of my fandom. So, shoot me, it's not my fault I was only 10 when "It's a Kind of Magic" came out in 1986.
My plan was to take a few days off from work and drive down to the city from Syracuse the day of the concert, see them on the 6
th
, maybe score tickets for the 7
th
and if so, drive back on the 8
th
. It would be amazing.
The Garden was, as usual, astounding. The stage was set up at one end of the floor with the expensive seats on the floor with less wallet busting ones as you went up the sides or towards the back of the arena. I had a middle-priced ticket. Halfway down one side, halfway up the tiers of seats. The place was packed, and the mood was electric. This wasn't just any band. This was QUEEN!
Every concert I have ever attended has been a mixed bag. The opening acts range from okay to downright terrible. The opening acts were there for some exposure and for people to buy merch, get their drinks, and find their seats before the main event. I'd bought my concert shirt on the way in and didn't feel like paying $12 for a small beer so I took the opportunity to people watch as they filed in.
You might think that a 50-year-old band would have fans of a certain age. Don't get me wrong. There were plenty of people in their 50s and 60s but there were still plenty of others who ran down the age ladder to their 20s and teens. Some of the teens were clearly there with their parents and I thought that was really cool. That's how bands get to be in the business for 50 years after their founding, cross generational appeal.
Young, old, male, female, the crowd filled the Garden. People started to file into my row as well. I had purchased an aisle seat because I get a bit claustrophobic. The downside is that I had to get up every time someone wants in and out of the row. Most of the time I just smiled and shift so the person can get to their seat. That's the price I pay for a bit of elbow room and a place to stretch a leg during the show.
And then there are the times when it is a real pleasure to have to move. When Molly showed up the stars aligned just a little bit. I didn't know her name was Molly when I first saw her but when she came bounding up the stairs to where her seat was, I certainly noticed. Like the song says, "Fat Bottomed Girls Make the World Go Round". She wasn't classically beautiful in the supermodel sense with cheekbones carved by the gods. She was if anything better. She had, for lack of a better term, a healthy roundness to her. Her blue eyes sparkled above blushing apple cheeks, a bit of a snub nose and a wide smile with what looked like ridiculously kissable lips and a shining white smile. She was shorter than average, maybe 5'3" if she was fortunate. The skin on her face and arms was pale and she fille out her concert T-shirt very well. And of course, there was the, ahem, fat bottom. She had a beautiful ass. Or so I figured that she did based on the black mini skirt that she wore.
"Can I get through please? My seat is right there."
I stood up again to let her pass and as she edged by me the supple roundness of her butt brushed against the front of my pants. Not intentional, just a narrow row and a plentiful booty. I still liked it.
Her seat turned out to be the ne right next to mine. She set her beer in the cup holder and folded the seat down, holding it stationary with one beautifully shaped calf. She turned to me, "Thanks! I'm Molly."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ben. I guess we are going to be seat neighbors tonight."
"Looks like!" She looked me up and down. I know what it is to be appraised. Heaven knows it happens every time I go to a club and I would be lying if I said I didn't do the same thing, or that I didn't check Molly out more thoroughly as well.
Like I said before, Molly filled out her T-Shirt very well. By my quick estimation she had to be an E or an F cup. The Q in Queen encircled where I imagined her right nipple would be. The last downstroke of the "N" bisected the left one. Molly had a bit of a pooch to her belly, perhaps better to call it a bit of a muffin top. But her joie de vivre shone from her eyes, bubbled from her laugh, and wafted from her like rare perfume. She clearly loved herself and her life. Her hips were well rounded and thick, supple thighs descended from her skirt until they ran into her argyll knee socks encasing her calves. She burst with life. Not a conventional beauty but Molly took my breath away.
"Is this your first-time seeing Queen?"
"Yep, I've been a fan since I was a teenager and they never toured anywhere near where I lived so when I found out they were coming to the Garden, I knew I had to see them. What about you?" Molly said.
"Pretty much the same. Although I'm guessing my teen years were a bit before yours. I came downstate to see them tonight."
As I finished talking the lights dimmed and the stage lights kicked off as the opening band started their set. Like most opening acts, they were forgettable. The crowd was on its feet rocking along but no one really felt it. During the set, Molly and I half shouted at one another about what we thought of the band, what songs we were hoping to hear and what we thought of Adam Lambert. She was in favor, I was against. A generational divide I think.
I really liked Molly. She was cute, bouncy in all sorts of interesting ways and she kept throwing these sidelong glances at me when she thought I wasn't looking. I still noticed. Now this was a typical concert. Everyone jumps, bounces, or dances around. It's part of the whole experience. If you are dancing around to the music, you'll bump into the people next to you and they will bump back! Usually that's just a hip or a shoulder bump in time to the music. Queen wasn't really mosh pit material you know?
Molly was not usually thought. It started with a hip mump, then a bid of side boob when the crowd was swaying back and forth to a song. Not a lot of side boob but just enough against my bicep to make me aware of the very large soft tit pressed against my arm. And Molly kept her tit there long enough that it had to be intentional. For the opening act finale, Molly turned around and rubbed her big juicy peach against my thigh. My world was starting to go round, that was for sure.
The opening act finished up and the stage crew started their highly practiced maneuvers to pull the openers equipment off stage and put up Queen's kit. From experience that meant we would have around 20-30 minutes of intermission to get drinks, hit the bathroom or whatever.
"I have to visit the ladies room Ben. Back in a flash!" Molly grinned and scooted by me, this time facing me chest to chest. She made sure that she dragged her tits across me with suggestive pressure. I pushed back, just a bit to let Molly know I knew what she was doing.
Molly grinned wider and bounced down the stairs to the exit. I'm pretty sure she flipped the back of her miniskirt at me but that could have been a factor of her enthusiasm and motion. In any case, I got a flash of red panties and the bottom outline of her shapely ass. She must have had the luck of the Irish because she was back in about 10 minutes carrying two large beers.
"How did you pee and make it through a beer line that fast?"
"A magician never reveals her secrets. This is for you" Molly handed me one of the foaming cups.
"So, you are a magician are you?"
"Sure I am! All women are magicians. It is our special talent. Give me half a chance and I'll show you a magic trick."
"What trick is that?"
"I'll make your cock disappear!" Molly laughed, a full-throated laugh that came right from her toes.
I just stood there. I sipped my beer and then licked the foam off my upper lip.
"Is that how it is?"
"Could be Ben. We'll just have to see." Molly winked at me and then leaned against me. Tentatively, I put an arm around her shoulder. Molly snuggled under my arm and lay her head on my chest while we waited for the show to start again.
"So did you just pick me up or did I pick you up Molly?"
"Does it matter Ben? Like the song says, 'It's a Kind of Magic'".
"It is at that."
I sat there, sipping my beer, and enjoying my good fortune. Not only did I score tickets to a band I'd adored forever, but I'd also found a delightful woman who seemed equally happy to be with me. If it led to more than that, I was hardly going to complain.
The screen over the stage and the jumbotron lit up and roger Taylor's drums started to roll out of the speakers across the Garden. This was "Innuendo" and while it was a great song to start the concert, Molly hadn't left much room for double entendre.
Molly squeezed my thigh and looked up at me, "I'm so excited!"
