I listened to Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare on a portable player in the neighboring dorm room to mind.<BR/><BR/>And cassettes were still a main source of music through 1989.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311733931114002459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558461285642691762.post-89126690429043834392007-06-28T09:49:00.000-05:002007-06-28T09:49:00.000-05:00Concerts, huh?

My wife and I have been blessed enough to catch a few shows there, including The Lion King, and Les Miserables, but we never caught a concert there. I'm trying to decide if there's a modern band that seeing in concert at the Fox would top The Eagles. Maybe U2 in an unplugged show? That would be pretty sweet.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15303712982672888531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558461285642691762.post-57100722513888505452007-06-28T09:14:00.000-05:002007-06-28T09:14:00.000-05:00Yeah, you're right about FM and KSHE, but you had ...Yeah, you're right about FM and KSHE, but you had to own a car with an FM radio and I didn't.
