Missus and I are going to see Pat Benatar at Charles Town Casino in September. She was fantastic when I saw her a couple of years ago with Lover Boy and Journey...said then that she could and should headline...
I ever mention I could have seen her around 1979 for free with my college ID at Toad's Place? Huey Lewis, too.
...and you passed?

And just a couple years later she was headlining at the Coliseum and HBO was filming it for a special, my sister and I were literally in the last row waaay up high but hey, we were there
I think I went to 2 concerts at the coliseum. The Who on the tour where they had the kid crushed to death out in cincinatti on rush seating, and the Grateful Dead the night of last exams my senior year (I had finished earlier). Maybe I caught some Southern rock concerts i don't remember.

Some love for Backstreets please. I think that's my favorite song on that album.
I think I like the more spare acoustic arrangement more than the Born to Run version, but I love both.
I tried to get 2IPAs to have ThunderRoad as our wedding song, but she would only agree to it as a second or third song
Truth is, drop a needle anywhere on that vinyl and you hit a great song.In the past 25 years or so, I think Magic as a whole is maybe his best studio, and Gypsy Biker is one of my two or three favorites on that album.
The speculators made their money on the blood you shedYour momma's pulled the sheets up off your bedProfiteers on James Street sold your shoes and clothesAin't nobody talkin' because everybody knowsWe pulled your cycle up back the garage and polished up the chrome*Our gypsy biker coming homeSister Mary sits with your colors, but Johnny's drunk and goneThis old town's been rousted, which side you on?They would march up over the hill, this old fools paradeShouting victory for the righteous for you must hear the graceAin't nobody talkin', but just waiting on the phoneGypsy biker coming homeWe rode into the foothills, Bobby brought the gasolineWe stood around the circle as she lit up the ravineThe spring hot desert wind rushed down on us all the way back homeTo the dead, well it don't matter much 'bout who's wrong or rightYou asked me that question, I didn't get it rightYou slipped into your darkness, now all that remainsIs my love for you brother, life's still unchangedTo him that threw you away, you ain't nothing but goneMy gypsy biker's coming homeAnd now I'm out countin' white linesCountin' white lines and getting stonedMy gypsy biker's coming homeLa la la laSongwritersSPRINGSTEEN, BRUCEPublished byLyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
