Concerts A-Z
Since I'm stuck at home anyway, I actually thought "Oh, I can update my concert calendar sooner than I normally do." That thought lasted five seconds before I realized that with so many bands cancelling and no real clear idea of when this self-quarantine will end, a concert calendar is a little pointless, especially since all our radio shows have been cancelled so I can't even use it for radio programming.
However, there is a fun little meme going around on Facebook since everybody is stuck at home and bored out of their minds, so I thought I'd do it here. Basically, for every letter of the alphabet name a band you've seen. A few notes:
- I'm going to use the radio station filing rule of "Last Name, First Name", in other words Bruce Springsteen would go under S.
- Originally I thought I'd do this from memory, but I opted to go to my lists to make the selections cooler. Just kidding, I actually don't have a great memory, hence the lists, so I had to check for several letters.
- Once I realized I had two X's, I figured I'd see if I could go for two for every letter.

P- Peelander-Z, Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Q- The Queers, Queen of Hell
R- Eliza Rickman, Reel Big Fish

I really do have somewhat eclectic taste, and not in a "Bollicks, all you have to do to be eclectic in this country is own a Chili Peppers album" as Cassidy so memorably stated. And no, I haven't see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Yet, anyway.
