I Am Ridiculously White

The first concert I ever went to was when my dad took me to see Weird Al Yankovic. He also took me to a Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz laser show as a child.

The first real concert I ever went to was Dropkick Murphy's with two guys from high school when I was 16. I still can't believe my parents ever let me go... but I don't think they really knew exactly what I was going to anyway. I probably told them it was celtic music.

I relived a bit of high school on my iTunes today. I'm really glad I saw so much live music in high school, even if it was crazy. I appreciate those times the same way I'm glad I gained appreciation for and saw Bob Dylan and Tom Petty while I was in college. Some of my weirdest and best memories are from concerts.





...You know you wish you were there. 


Nice. 

Still one of my favorite running songs. 




I like that this video is only from a couple years ago. Wow. I can still remember singing this super loud in my car.

Weird Al is SO, SOOOOO much cooler than my first concert. Also, I used to have my own lyrics for 'champs elysees' since I didn't (and still don't) understand french.

My first concert was Anti-Flag at the Brick Works in Chico. I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.
