My inner 6th grader was very proud that I could still shout 87% of the lyrics.
As I stood there in the darkness, I realized that I have only been to 6 concerts in my life and 3 of them were with my parents.
Prepare to be absolutely bowled over by how cool I am:
1. NKOTB with Mom
2. Extreme with Dad (yes, my dad took me to see Extreme. ZZ Top opened, if you can believe such a thing. Probably I owe my dad some sort of terrible debt for this.)
3. Violent Femmes (hoping for partial redemption there. They played my college. 700 kids in a field with the Violent Femmes. Someone stepped on my face. It was one of the best nights of my life.)
4. Tracy Chapman
5. Tori Amos
6. Billy Joel with Mom
Yes, folks, I am the most bad-ass person ever. My first time giving Devil Points at a show was seeing Billy Joel with my mom.
Happy Birthday, Mom and Ali!

Billy Joel was the second concert I ever saw, back in the late 80's.
I think I have been to over 50 concerts, I once blogged a list and it was pretty huge. I think it is just due to where I live.
But, none of them were with my parents! ;)
Oh, man, Billy Joel kicks ass! Probably I'll get my own ass kicked for saying so, but I believe it.
This makes me ponder my own concert going:
1. Chumbawamba (at college)
2. Cake
3. KC and the Sunshine Band
4. Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band
5. Barenaked Ladies
6. Cake again, and Ben Folds
7. Jump Little Children (with Ashley, and I actually sat in the bar for part of it-- sorry, Ashley!)
And I think that's it. I'm not much of a live-music person...
My first concert was Alabama in Stegman Collesium at UGA. And then as a freshman in high school, I skipped the homecoming football game to go to the Rod Stewart Unplugged tour. Also I saw Don McLean in the latter part of my high school years. Totally worth it to hear him sing "American Pie" and "Vincent" live.
Meg, I'm totally jealous. I kind of love Billy Joel. I like to rock out to his greatest hits every now and again.
i also went to a NKOTB!! with my friend while her dad picked us up after. . . and of course TIFFANY.
yeeeeeoooowwwww.
I love Billy Joel. And, secretly, NKTOB. Syracuse, Carrier Dome, circa 1989, baby.
I still love you, Joey McIntyre!!!
Joe McIntyre and I have the same number of teeth.
I went to see NKOTB with both my parents. It was my dream to be Mrs. Joe McIntyre.
I tried to look up his number at the library one time and call him from a pay phone.
I got his home address and wrote to him every single day for almost a year.
