Hey, I was ten and crazy about him. It was 1971. My parents let me take several of my friends. It's the only birthday from that long ago that I remember. DON'T JUDGE ME!!! - Laura Norvig from iPod

No judging here, Laurabrarian. Just a big ol' smile. I had a similar crush on Susan Dey at that same time and age. - Friar Will (:^)

"By choice" is a tough call. I'd go willingly with friends, but to what they wanted (Bush, Jimmy Buffet). I wanted to see a bunch but couldn't. The first thing I can remember going to that was my idea was The Skatalites, with Hepcat, the Gadjits, and somebody else. I also went to Ozomatli a LOT, back when they were good. - Lo the Baker

The ONLY real concert I have ever been to (unknown bar bands don't count): Jethro Tull - April
