Wherein I Show Myself to Be Dated AND Limited

A "concert meme thingy" from TigMode. I think this makes it painfully clear that I need to go to more concerts and start branching out in my musical tastes...

Here is how it works: Copy this list, leave in the bands you've seen perform live, delete the ones you haven't, and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list.
1. Depeche Mode**
2. Violent Femmes**
3. The Cure**
4. Siouxsie and the Banshees*
5. Peter Gabriel
6. David Byrne
7. B-52s
8. Go-Go's
9. INXS
10. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
11. Jefferson Airplane
12. Allison Kraus
13. 10,000 Maniacs
14. Lyle Lovett
15. They Might Be Giants
16. Jane's Addiction
17. Reel Big Fish
18. Save Ferris
19. Huey Lewis and the News
20. Bob Dylan
21. Chemical Bros.
22. Laurie Anderson
23. Cocteau Twins
24. Barenaked Ladies
25. Billy Vera

I so have to do this, if only to see if my memory is still worth a shit.

Huey Lewis, though?

Wait, I have some shitbombs on my list, too, so maybe I'd better not give you any crap!

I know, it's sad. After I posted this I remembered several much cooler bands I've also seen live that would have made me look much better. But the fact of the matter is I had a terrible, virulent and ultimately embarrassing junior high crush on the man. And then later, when I was doing my senior year of high school at the U. of South Florida, he offered me a ride home one night when he gave a concert on campus that I *didn't* attend and just happened to be crossing the Sundome's lot heading for my car when he came tromping out after the show. And not in an "ew, stop hitting on me" way, but in a "he thought my car had broken down" way. Very nice man.

Take no crap......I like Huey Lewis and his News and saw him twice myself. I just didn't get him on the list because it stopped at 25.

Aww, that's super nice! And you didn't take the ride? I totally would have. I'd have asked him to sing "If This Is It" with me, because I can't help it. I love that song.
