Fun facts:1.)At the time, I would have killed to see one of the July, 1989 Who concerts at the Vet. I later found out that the Ex not only went to one of those shows, but had an extra ticket. If I had started dating her one year earlier, I could've gone. Would it have been worth it? We'll never know…

2.)Brian had got me a ticket to see Robert Plant on his "Now & Zen" Tour in the summer of 1990, but I ended up turning him down to substitute on bass for Bundy in Alternate Route at a backyard party gig. Well worth it.

3.)I was 4th in line at the Newtown Square Ticket Master (in the old West Coast Video) to get Live tickets for their 1997 Tower Theater show. Amazingly, the show sold out in 2 minutes, and I didn't get tickets. I should take some solace in the fact that Jack says it sucked, but who knows...?

4.)I had FLOOR SEATS (!) to see Jane's Addiction (!!) AND Marylin Manson (!!!) at Madison Square Garden (!!!!) on New Year's Eve (!!!!!) , 2003… BUT, Jane's ended up cancelling the entire leg of the tour, citing exhaustion. They broke-up again not long after. Bastards (#@*&#!!!!!!)
