You know those Facebook quizzes? I usually ignore them ("What crayon color are you?") but one circulated recently that I just had to partake in. It wasn't a quiz, it was "Name 50 concerts you've been to". Seeing as I've gone to a handful this summer, I thought I'd conjure up a list. The 50 I came up with doesn't even cover half of it. Later, I remembered The Clash, REM, Black Eyed Peas, 10,000 Maniacs, World Party, Sarah McLaughlin, The Waterboys, Depeshe Mode, Beastie Boys, and on and on and on.
I've always been into music, especially live music, and try to go to as many shows as possible and that my bank account will allow. As my old college roommate Jodi wrote after the Facebook list, "This list...is life, and yours is very rich." To which I emphatically agree.
