There are a lot of things I don’t understand. Why bad things happen to good people. Quantum mechanics. Life, The Universe and Everything (Oh, wait—that’s easy: 42). Among those is why people aren’t up in arms (in a good way) that The Doobie Brothers and War are coming to Maui. Guys, why aren’t we dancing in the street?
