I'm into all kinds of mu...John,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, you know me... I'm into <I>all</I> kinds of music! I would've killed to see Pat Boone back in the day... LOL.<BR/><BR/>The heavy metal bands were the ones I went to see the most in my teen years. At one time I had saved all my concert tickets, and I had over 30. All of the concerts had 2 or 3 bands, so I got to see a lot of cool concerts. Motley Crue, Dokken, Firehouse, Bullet Boys, Skid Row, Judas Priest, Extreme, ZZ Top, Guns N Roses, Aerosmith.<BR/><BR/>You mentioned Styx and Ted Nugent. I never did see Styx, though I would've loved to. They were here a year or two ago, and I was sad to have missed them again. Nugent is the one concert that I saw that I didn't appreciate enough at the time. He opened for one of the Kiss concerts and I really only knew a couple of his tunes at the time, and just wasn't into it. He's really quite an intelligent guy.<BR/><BR/>Bino,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I think my parents weren't to happy about me seeing a Slaughter concert either. :) And not just because of the name... LOL.<BR/><BR/>And yep... the seemingly small things in life... I'm also learning more and more that these things can mean so much.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-3962209307786616052009-01-21T13:58:00.000-06:002009-01-21T13:58:00.000-06:00I had a wave of fear went through my nervous syste...I had a wave of fear went through my nervous system when you said 'Slaughter concert'...<BR/><BR/>But I am glad you explained it: (the rock band is named "Slaughter") Aaah! :)<BR/><BR/><I>Don't underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a kind deed, an unexpected act of grace... or the power of a word of condemnation, an act of unkindness, a scornful look.</I><BR/><BR/>You are right, Joel! I am learning this to be true more and more everyday in my life...Bino M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303467552834533436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-2967976497516651682009-01-21T09:34:00.000-06:002009-01-21T09:34:00.000-06:00Wow. Joel, I think those are two awesome examples ...Wow. Joel, I think those are two awesome examples of "minor" events in your life. It is amazing how much the small stuff really does matter sometimes.<BR/><BR/>BTW, didn't know you were into "death" metal. ;-)<BR/><BR/>My wife saw Kiss in 1975 and didn't even care! She only went because she was dating a boy who's mother worked at the Omni. She also saw Aerosmith, Styx, Ted Nugent - i.e. people I would have killed to see and she was totally indifferent!John Fincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458897526460534434noreply@blogger.com
