You wanna hear a sob story!!? We must be about the same age, then, because I
had a ticket to the show here in '82. An older brother of a friend of mine
had two extras, one for each of us. We asked our mothers, to which we both
received the reply - isn't that the band were those children were trampled?
And, besides, you're too young. So we were both screwed. I've spent the last
fifteen years blaming my mother for that one. And she doesn't even have the
courtesy to remember it!

Thanks for making bring that up -- now I have to call my therapist...
