saw her live in 1985 and 1993 with 10000 Maniacs. Both times, Michael Stipe was there. In 85 they opened for R.E.M. and in 1993 he joined her on song or two. Rumor has it River Phoenix was at that show, too.

Saw U2 on the Joshua Tree tour. Wynonna Judd joined them on stage. I think Larry had a crush on her…

Yes I fucking met this asshole. My god. We’ve been through it all together. Crashing on each others floors and sofas too drunk to … well drive… we’ve moshed together at hundreds of shows. We’ve been through lots of life stuff together. Weddings, divorce, illness, death, children, dreams, dreams dashed, and dreams reignited.

I fucking love Rex Silo, and I fucking hate him, too.

Saw Exene at the legendary Exit/In. With Steve Wynn. D.J. played drums in her band. It was part of a show sponsored in part by Ben and Jerrys. I have a concert t-shirt from that show. A year or so later, I saw X at 328. Not at their best, but still a damn good show.

I saw Richard Thompson live at the late lamented 328 Performance Hall in Nashville. He blew me away. One of my all time favorite performers.

Since people include bands and performers they see live in the “met” category. I will go ahead and do this. Still would love to “hang” with Bela. Saw him and the Flecktones live a couple of times including a memorable show at the old Summer Lights festival…. sighs…

woo hoo, I’m now between Al Franken and Kurt Vonnegut… not bad… Plus, he is from North Carolina – us alternative, liberal Southerners have to stick together don’t we?

I like to meet people who want to meet me. In fact I am flattered. Not sure if I am responding in the correct way though. Hep me somebody! :)

Circa 1992, I saw a Meat Puppets show at the late, legendary 328 Performance Hall in Nashville. At the end of the set, Cris and Curt started handing out free beer to whomever wanted one. I was, as usual, crashing the stage, and so I got one of the free beers. Since, it was hotter than hell in that damn club, the beer really hit the spot.

Viva Le Meat Puppets!
