Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

The status is NOT quo.

I have decided that every time our niece becomes a fan of some horrible Facebook group like "I'm in America, I shouldn't have to 'Press 1 for English'" (I kid you not), I have to join something to balance her out.

So the latest meme on facebook has been around the first concert you've seen.

So I ask you, what was your first concert?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, man, Jodeci! Now I just want to make a playlist of 80s and 90s black boy bands: NE, Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Shai, H-Town, 112. Dude. What ever happened to black boy bands? They've totally fallen off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dude, the acapella that Boyz II Men pulled out for their version of that song is not to be trifled with. It's just a beautiful, beautiful thing.

OK, I just listened to it on YouTube, and yeah. Much prettier. BUT STILL.

Steve Miller Band!

ETA: Was my first concert, not my favorite boy band. Important clarification.

Curiously, Steve Miller was my second concert. (With Little River Band opening.)

Emmett's first concert: The Stooges.

H-Town

Oh shit. I have a ridiculous college memory of being in a car hearing "Knockin the Boots," on our way to the beach, right after I had gotten high with my coworkers on our way home from my evening-shift telemarketing job, and that song tripped me out.

I was never into 112, for whatever reason.

I think my first real concert was the aforementioned BBD/Johnny Gill/Keith Sweat.
