Fat John Popper with his fishing vest full of harmonicas. My date caught one that he chucked into the crowd , very spitty.
What are you listening to now? Page 643

Nice. I caught a Rick Nielsen guitar pick with my eyelid once, but it was, thankfully, spitless.
For as much music as I listen to, I've been to a surprisingly small amount of concerts. My only other cool concert experience that pops into my head at this late hour is being in the 5th row of a Peter, Paul and Mary concert and having Paul ask me from the stage if the grapes I was eating were seedless and if they came from Wegmans, our local grocery store.

I've been to more shows than I can count over the last 30 years. My daughter (11 years old at the time) was in heaven at a 1997 Pavement show when the band saw her getting roughed up at the front of the venue and invited her to spend the rest of the show on the stage.
My husband was at a Godsmack concert and the guy he was with chucked a beer bottle onto the stage and it hit Sully the lead singer. He had seen where it came from, assumed it was my husband and started cussing him out in the middle of the show. He ducked down to hide and there was his friend suddenly on their big screen with his hands all over some girls tits. You don't find action like that at a They Might Be Giants show.
Anyone who throws stuff at a band deserves a full-on Axl Rose crazyass beatdown.
He had enough drugs in his system that he probably wouldn't have felt it. My husband is widely known for his poor taste in friends.
Right now I'm listening to Bobby Darin -- If I Were a Carpenter...

You had me at Godsmack.
We have very different tastes in music, so our combined collection looks like someone with multiple personalities lives here. There's quite a bit of his stuff that I just can't listen to. And of course, he says I listen to crap...
The husband is always wrong. So it goes in the marriage, so it goes for music.
Thank you. I am not always right and I don't need to be right all the time, but my God he is really good at being wrong. He hated Wilco, doesn't like Flogging Molly, and hid my Pogues cds on me. But, in the car, I am forced to listen to Korn and Nickleback at full blast over and over. How is that ok?

If I were a judge I would award you custody of the children, the stereo system and a huge settlement for pain and suffering.
When I go to divorce court you can be my expert witness. And what really pisses me off is that on his Facebook page he doesn't list any of the stuff he actually listens to. I'd love to get custody of the kids and the stereo system, or should I say what should have been a down payment on a house?

"I'm into The Velvet Underground, Can and Big Star."
Do your kids go to concerts with you? Mine have some great memories of shows gone by and my daughter still gushes over the time she was hit on by a Wilco member on a street in England 5 years ago.
My kids are kinda little for concerts, but I am planning on taking my oldest to some as soon as something decent comes to town. We get lots of country and a bunch of tired hair bands. But he's the kind of kid that would be perfecty happy to go to a big band concert or to our local Jazz fest.
