She's lucky that her first concert was cool. My first concert was Queensryche.

Yeah, my kids are LUCKY that their mom is cool. I remember my dad taking my Quadraphenia album (The Who) and breaking it over his knees.

I remember my dad taking my Quadraphenia album (The Who) and breaking it over his knees. Many years later, my son's dad tried the same thing to his POD album.

She's my favorite. I have been to her concert too. Love Pooh Bear. PS Please someone e-mail me. Back to An Amy Grant Guestbook.

EMILY: (to herself, distractedly, playing with her Mr. Bumper plastic figure): "We're nightclubbing, bright white clubbing .. Isn't it wild?"

That kid sounds cooler than most of the people I know.

[marcosembury]

Yes, I know most of the people there but most of them I would just pass on the street and not say hi, but on farcebook, we are supposed to be good friends because you sent me boozemail.

What a great first concert! Mine was Hall & Oates when I was 14.

I caught the Aquabats a couple years back when they were touring the Charge!! album. Great fun, one of the best shows I've ever seen. Glad to see they're still keeping it going while Yo Gabba Gabba! is rolling along.

I &hearts Nick Lowe.

That is all.

[evandorkin]

I distinctly remember the audience being very cool towards Nick Lowe. Opening acts usually suck, but c'mon, Nick Lowe didn't suck and doesn't suck. He was really good, too. Paul Carrack(sp) from Squeeze while Jools Holland was off doing whatever (iirc) was in his band then and they played Tempted, so, nice bonus there.

None of my friends paid any attention. That doesn't make me better than them. It just makes me a Nick Lowe fan. Still love that Rockpile album, too.

Several WFMU deejays have been playing stuff off his new album lately. Mellow, well-written, Nick Lowe-y. I liked what I heard so far.

[thunderleg]

wait wait wait... they played Tempted??

dang you got to see Tempted AND CD Repo Man in one show?? god i hate that i never get out anymore.

[evandorkin]

No, Paul Carrack and Nick Lowe did. Like, twenty six years ago or so. You had no shot, relax.
