[coolian2]

[coolian2]

My first concert was The Monkees, on their big "comeback" tour after MTV created their big resurgence.

It was the summer after 7th grade, and my mom took me to see them at the Wisconsin State Fair. I was in heaven.

 

[coolian2]

since i'm on a roll, my first concert was these guys: Vengaboys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

anyway, my musical credibility is all shot now

Is that you second from the left? The Dairy Princess?

small world, i think the one in the foreground is my ex.

 

[lazarus]

Jai ho!

 

[martha]

You're so lucky. I love Paul Rodgers.

We both wish I was that young.

 

[Dalton]

This is just all kinds of brilliant. Too bad NSW isn't around to see it:

YouTube - Meshugene Men

If Princeton, Harvard and Yale aren't letting Jews in anymore, why should I?

No, but I did win the cream puff eating contest that year.*

God I hate people who think Bono is soooo cool they have to copy him.

 

[Irvine511]

my first "real" concert was R.E.M.

Radiohead opened.

so suck it.





though i'm told i did see John Denver in utero.

 

[Irvine511]

i also want to thank that hip-hop thread for reminding me that i was into MC Solaar for a brief time in high school, and i'm glad to remake his acquaintance.

I think my first concert was more embarrasing looking back now. And the guy is dead now too. Hey I was 14! So to make amends, I made sure Maddy's first show was not an embarrassment at any point in her life: Paul McCartney.

 

[RedRocksU2]

My most embarrassing concert;

Richard Marx


It was on a blind date, terrible concert...great date.

I don't think that one can be topped (bottomed?).

whichever Richard prefers ... i'll be right here waiting.

 

[martha]

Take him to get a haircut first.

 

[Irvine511]

indeed.

was just trying to make a Right Here Waiting joke.

oceans apart, day after day ...

 

[martha]

I'm not familiar with his music? Is that why I didn't get it?

 

[phillyfan26]

My three regular concerts were The Who and Springsteen twice, so it's hard to argue with that. I have seen Smashmouth in concert, but that was because they played after a Pirates game in Pittsburgh, so I was already there. Kind of nice to experience the hit songs of elementary school again. I still know all the lyrics to "All Star." Everyone does.

I really deserve an assist for that one.

Hey now, you're a douchebag!

 

[phillyfan26]

Scumbo and Laz, are you two going to do DI6? Both me and YLB demand this of you. Impy probably does too.

 

[impy13]

I just now woke up. Hooooooly shit.

 

[phillyfan26]

You pass out drunk at 7 AM or something?

 

[impy13]

Yeah, I guess that's the Cliff's Notes version of it.

 

[corianderstem]

I slept in until 8:30 this morning - that's super late for me. Then I went to Target and dropped way too much money. It was mostly stuff I needed, but still. Yikes.

I looooooove when choir is done for the season, and I have my Saturday mornings back again.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yeah, I guess that's the Cliff's Notes version of it.

Which is never as good as the real thing. I'll guess that it included some combination of your baseball pong game, Cope, and you looking like a fucking ridiculous idiot.

 

[phillyfan26]

I slept in until noon, but then again, I passed out drunk in my bed at 1 AM last night. My timing's a little more apt than Impy's.
