Questions from Sad Banjo

cw: You always ask what’s the first album you ever bought, and what’s the first concert you ever attended. What are your answers?
kp: When I was 8, I used to spend my $3 weekly allowance on Blondie 45s at the Woolworth’s by my house. Three out of the first four records I ever bought were Blondie 45s. The other was “Just Like Starting Over” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The first concert I attended was the “Calling All Nations” Tour: INXS, Guns n Roses, and Iggy Pop, among others. Because we lived so far away from everything, I didn’t get to go to concerts until I was 16, and even then, getting a ride there (and permission to stay out that late) was a big deal. But I was a huge INXS fan in the mid 80’s and when they came to Dallas, I pretty much demanded to go. I’ve seen much better concerts since, but it was a big deal at the time.
