Wiggly with Excitement
I've only been to a handful of concerts in my life. Here's the full list (off the top of my head, so I might be forgetting one):
1985 - Some Def Jam show featuring Run-DMC and Doug E. Fresh (I was WAY too young to go to this show - "Hey, that cigarette smoke smells funny...").
1986 - Van Halen on their 5150 tour (also known as their "Sammy Hagar is now our new lead singer" tour).
1996 - Wu Tang Clan (I really liked them at the time, but this was the worst show ever).
1997-ish - Jewel (I hadn't heard of her at the time, but it was free).
1998-ish - Phife Dawg (after A Tribe Called Quest - who I loved - broke up, so this was bitter-sweet, but also free).
2004 - Kanye West (best show I've ever been to).
Next month, I'll be able to add a 7th concert to this list, because -- brace yourselves -- I just bought tickets to go see the Wiggles. And for the record, I am inviting my wife and son.

Hmmmm...wonder if they do an extended live version of "Fruit Salad?" You may be permanently altered by such an experience....and not in a good way, I fear.
Anyway, say hi to Captain Feathersword for me. Not that he would remember that night in Dallas or anything, but still...

Q-tip is my favorite, but i definitely am jealous you saw phife.
i'm going to wait until i have my own critters to get hooked on the Wiggles, so i'll reserve my judgement of you until then.
are you going to dance?

Hey I had that Q-Tip song with The Chemical Brothers called 'Galvanize' on my blog just yesterday!
Ahhhh, The Wiggles concert. Been there, done that, touched Greg's hands, tried to scrapbook my own hand to preserve the memory forever. This was before they went mega big time and they used to cavort around with the audience. They put on a fantastic show. I kid you not.

The Police totally rocked.
Sorry. I say that anytime someone says concert.
Anyway, here's my Wiggles story. I'm a big fan. Through all 5 nieces and nephews, I have actively sought a fellow fan so I have an excuse to go to a concert. The other day, tickets were announced in our area, my nephew came over, patted my hand, and said, "I'll go with you if you REALLY want, but I kinda think they're too silly."
*pout*

Nope. Not getting anything.

Are you going to try and have the band sign your chest? I really think you should. It will be a dinner party story to end all dinner party stories.

I've lived a sheltered life. I have never been to a concert. Why would I want to stand and listen to music when I could sit in a chair at home and do the same thing?

I'm guessing your wife and son want to go with you.
Right?
