Gonna use this as a space to capture the concerts attended by me. Since I can edit this, will allow me the means to update the list as I remember those fuzzy moments. It should get visually better as time goes by and I have time to pretty it up. Those in the know are welcome to add comments or clarification for my bad memory.

Ok I'm happy, most of that list is definitely 80's :) The only concerts I have ever been to were Jimmy Buffet and Billy Joel. You are so way ahead of me!!!
As to "fuzzy moments" well I used to think that's something old people had when I was a kid, but now I guess I'm one of the old people. You too eh? :)
And I can only imagine how bad my memory would be if I'd have smoked dope.
Dope? What's that?
Ok I'll admit, there were a few episodes where my youth and lack of judgment--any judgment that is, got the best of me and I smoked it. Stationed overseas, away from home, what ELSE is there to do?
Looking back, I honestly had a blast. What a great way to pass the time occasionally and all it did was make me funny as hell then I'd go to sleep.
Oh to be young again.......NOT! :O)
