[Opens door, walks in sheepishly and furtively.]

In high school, I went to a Paula Abdul and a Samantha Fox concert. By choice.

[Turns, quietly leaves, cheeks flush.]

Ahhh...Barry Manilow! A friend of mine had tickets for the last time he was in town...she was practically having to PAY her children to go with her...I would have gone..but I had other obligations...

John Denver huh...My grandfather was something of a small time concert promoter in the 60's-70's - He has the cancelled check from booking John Denver in my hometown...many many eons ago...
dorky yes...but I felt obligated to share my families small claim to fame!

My first concert experience was a really big deal.

My friend's dad, who was this ultra hip guy, took us to see The Beach Boys at the Hollywood Bowl. I think it was 1982 because I somehow remember it being fall, but it could very well have been during the first half of 1983. I was in the 6th grade. All my conccert experience to date had been classical stuff for my mom, who is a classical double bassist.

Not only did we go to the concert, we drove to the concert in a classic woody station wagon, had excellent box seats, great dinners from a restaurant on Melrose, AND backstage passes! We just kind of hung out back there, not doing much. After the concert, we went to the beach. It was one cool experience.

Y'know I don't think I could name a NKotB song, but I did enjoy watching them dance. Weren't they one of the first bands to do all of that choreography with their music? One of the distinct things I can remember about NK merchandise were all of the people running around with the shoelaces. It seemed like they were everywhere.

Same as my older sister! She loved him. She had a crush on him and David. She went with my aunt. (Same aunt that took me to Tony Orlando.)

MouseWife · 01-12-2005, 05:20 PM

GC~ that is one cool aunt. My sister did stuff like that for us when we were growing up {she is almost 10 years older than I am}.

Oh man, yes, I think I still love David Cassidy. Those old Partridge Family shows, mmm mmm mmm.

Shaun was so sexy to me but I didn't really know what it all meant at that age {what, 11? 12?}

Now take me to see Chris Cornell shirtless and I know why I feel that way!

I was kinda impressed with Dirk Diggler's brother. It seemed like he had the heart of a rocker.
