I saw the great Frank Zappa back in 1984 and I don't remember a thing about it. I drank all day of the show, I did coke, and smoked a pile of weed.
I've been to several shows since I've gotten sober: Brian Wilson, Todd Rundgren, Ben Folds, Weird Al Yankovic, and I've had a blast. I went to a ska show and I even got up on stage and skank danced. Me in my mid 50's amid all those kids. It was fantastic.
Yeah, I know all about having to use the bathroom repeatedly because I kept chugging beer, poor memory of the shows, hangovers.
We're seeing Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band next month, and I can't wait.
