Got close to going to a Donna Summer concert in Milwaukee (or maybe Chicago?) back in the day, but wound up not going.

When I was a kid my parents took me to a Pat Boone one, probably around 1965, does that count ?

I think my parents took me to the B minor mass when I was like 4. Does that count?

My parents took me to some Chopin concert when I was 4-5. I only recall the endless boredom, enlivened by innocent but much resented efforts to disturb all other concert goers.

Garth Brooks, No Fences. I was probably 6 or 7 and my parents made me wear ear plugs. I remember that he came out on stage in a blue shirt and black cowboy hat and the concert opened with Thunder Rolls.

I'm going to see him in concert soon. I can't remember the date but the wife already got the tickets.

1981, I saw Makem and Clancy at Bunratty Castle. Family connection - Tommy Makem was my godfather.

Metallica, Portland Oregon, 1992. My friend and I drove over the mountains the weekend before our senior finals. Twice (because we ended up going back with my brother and our boyfriends to see them a second time!). They put on a great show.

Kiss. Ted Nugent and a Sebastian-less Skid Row opened. Not a huge fan of any of them, but as far as "show" goes, I won't see anything like it for a long time.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
