Yep! I'm with MM and cdnkaro. Sometimes I wake up in the morning to a cacophony of voices yelling over the tops of one another to be heard.

I agree with MM...still searching over here! You really are afraid of barf, aren't you? We've all got a phobia, I guess!<br /><br />p.s.

Or, that someone's going to get lippy and someone else will get punchy and I just don't like that.<br /><br />However, the rock concert? Yes. Def Leppard? Yes, please. Poison, Def Leppard, AND Foreigner? HELL YES!<br /><br />I've been known to drive and/or fly thousands of miles to see Def Leppard, Depeche Mode, Maroon 5 & Train, Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty ... ahem. So, gitcher rock on, girl!

I've yet to find anything that shuts down the nagging-thought factory--at least nothing that can be done in public. ;)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-39887859211784895182012-01-08T14:00:03.516-08:002012-01-08T14:00:03.516-08:00Love it!

And subsequently?<br />Maybe it's a "Fugitive" thing? :)<br /><br />I adore your writing.<br />Like you, I tend to eschew that which everyone else runs to & embraces, including those who claim to be "counter-culture". Poor things never realize that a counter-revolution still suffers from the mob mentality. It's just a smaller mob, but they still offer you kool-aid to drink, albeit a different flavor of Koolaid.<br /><br />But yes, there is something delicious about experiencing live music. Such raw kinetic energy that rips through you. I love feeling a bit dazed and confused by those primal impulses. <br /><br />I wouldn't call it hypocritical to wish to be a part of a thing greater than yourself in these moments. I should call it transcendent, even if it is nothing more than a primal instinct embedded deep within our reptilian brain's need for survival. Whether we like it or not, ultimately, most of us seem wired by a herding instinct. Survival was often predicated upon it, probably still is... <br /><br />P.S. Hell yes to you and your man getting your freak on together.<br />It's wonderful to share the madness with the man you love.<br />Wonderful and freeing...Lori Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569806921410155798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-5912504080266207002012-01-08T09:17:46.571-08:002012-01-08T09:17:46.571-08:00So many memories.

There couldn't be two more diverse musical artists in the world than Buffet and Ian Anderson, of Tull, who plays the flute, and is quite the performer. I absolutely went along every step of the path you described. Substitute Led Zeppelin for Def Leppard, and that's me.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-19799685807702598062012-01-08T07:48:26.743-08:002012-01-08T07:48:26.743-08:00JealousJealousGraciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-37163339594944322952012-01-07T22:03:00.505-08:002012-01-07T22:03:00.505-08:00I forget this is January...so maybe that was 2 mon...I forget this is January...so maybe that was 2 months ago. ;)Taylor @ Pink Heels Pink Truckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510430596263216022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-70963621897407393172012-01-07T22:02:21.296-08:002012-01-07T22:02:21.296-08:00This doesn't surprise me...especially after yo...This doesn't surprise me...especially after your ABBA Gold Dance Party last month. ;) Everyone needs their rock and roll!
