Reply #68: I know - young guys at the music store flip out when I tell them how many

times I saw the Ramones. (and everyone saw them several times or more at the time, since they toured non-stop) It still makes me sad to think that they aren't around anymore. :(

There's a Joe Strummer tribute coming up here fairly soon. One time a bunch of my music pals did all of London Calling at a show and it was very, very cool.


Hell, I wish I could have seen Cab Calloway, Betty Carter sing, Coltrane, and Dizzy! (and I probably could have if I hadn't been obsessed with punk at the time.) I did get to see Muddy Waters, Sun Ra and the Art Ensemble of Chicago before some of them/ seminal members of the Art Ensemble passed on.
