Hehehe by the time I was 20 I surpassed Entity's list at a much lower cost. How many here have seen the Doors or Jimi Hendrix? Well I did.

It's not my fault shows cost $50 a pop to go see, and that bands like heroin. ;)

The only show I would really have killed to have seen is Stevie Ray Vaughan. RIP, SRV. :(
