Think it was 1991 and I went to see Lenny Kravitz in The Point.

I don't think Let Love Rule is as hideous as what came after but thinking about this twat now... holy fuck.

He has good taste in ladies tho, Lisa Bonet and Ms Paradis.

Don't be embarrassed dude.

I saw Backstreet Boys in the Point when I was a tween.

The low point of my musical education, you could say.

 

[cephalopod]

I went to see Stereophonics at Slane, Bryan Adams at Slane...basically anything that was at Slane just cos we lived near and always got in free.

at least you saw them when they were good!

 

[flashback]

Dire Straits at the Point when I was about 11.


I thought it was deeeeeeeeeadly at the time, because it was guitars, and shiny lights and loud.

Now I realise I was wrong to think that. It was very uncool.


I'm not sure if Mark Knopfler was still in his "Faggot with the earing and the make up" phase. I'm hoping he was. That would probably be the cause of my obsession with Thai Ladyboys. He certainly played that tune.

I've already said too much.

I just admitted to see Backstreet Boys for god's sake. I want REALLY embarrassing concerts!!

we possibly had this conversation before, I think I said Telegraph Road seemed great to me when I was a nipper.
I loved Johny Cash too.

Jesus. The slagings at school.

Chris de Burgh any good to you? Mid to late 80's I had to go (in silent protest) twice.

Once because it was my then-ladyfriends birthday and she wanted to go. Then two months after that front-row horror her sister got us tickets to go again.

 

[cephalopod]

Was Bryan Adams cool?

Yer woman from Place-bow is a ride.

I went to see Billy Joel a couple of summers ago. It was deadly.

I went to U2 POP.
Lady Di had just croaked it that morning.
Bono tried to heal the rift between Ireland and England.
Cant we just get along?
People teared up.



I should really have been old enough to know better.
