41. Another fun fact

The Beach Boys were the first concert I ever went to. Very early 80's with Delbert McClinton opening up. It was that show that precipitated the show-down with my step-father and his unreasonable control over all our lives and I left home soon after it at the age of 17. I was a high school graduate, seeing a show with my friend on a weekend and he only agreed to let me go if I was home by 10. That number was not arbitrary - it was when he went to bed and he didn't want to have to get up to let me in the house any later. I was not allowed to have my own key. The Beach Boys had barely been on stage for a whole song by 10 so of course I blew that curfew way off and haven't missed talking to that asshole in the 40 years since.

Another fact that may or may not be fun. A year or two later I worked at 6 Flags over Texas as a photographer and Mike Love was in the park and let me take a pic of him. He was really nice to me that day and I felt a little bad associating him with the antichrist above but that was the stories I heard much later and he started it lol. I didn't know anything about band politics or real life politics and all that stuff back then. I barely know much now. But it was a great show and I told him so then. I wish I had gotten a copy of the picture but my boss said it was on company time so it was his pic. (real film back then).

That Beach Boys show also kicked off a life-long love of live music and I have been to thousands of shows since then but the last 15 years or so have been almost exclusively death-metal shows at little clubs.
