went to woodstock, and altamont, too. mom was a hippie, uncle was a part of the, ahem, "security" at altamont. mom thought i should be free to discover what i liked. in actuality, i hated most it live. first real concert was leon russel and joe cocker mad dogs and englishmen tour. harry nilsson and friends took me and mom. i saw a lot of zappa and beefheart as a kid. we lived across the street for a year from zappa. i was still doing the work i can't to this day shake. i saw the ramones in 76, talking heads, blondie, johnny thunders, richard hell, teklevision, etc... in nyc after that. saw prince open for the stones and get booed off stage. i would have loved to have seen rudimentary peni, but i never did. seen too much, i sometimes think. i was a lucky disturbed little kid.
