There are others that are part of my wish list to see, but there are various reasons (death, break-up, retired, got lame) why it isn't possible.

Notable mention to the singer of that band that I can't remember, that played at The 360 one hot summer night in '96, and got totally naked. It was quite a treat for all of us.

So THAT'S what a small dick looks like . . .

How about you share YOUR list with me, so I can hate on you.

Or start your own killer list of live music that you've seen.
