I love your taste! Especially Madonna, Tori Amos, Garbage, Cher, and my personal Goddess, Alanis Morissette!
You’ve been blessed to see such freaking awesome concerts.
Brian,
I love your web site. I am just getting started (I am 65 years old–still working) on my own. My son put me up to this because he knows I love to write.
I am checking out your site to see how to set up my own. I hope that’s all right with you.

@ storyofsue: You’re welcome to look around. It’s awesome that you started a blog! :)
WHAT! I cannot believe you saw the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary concert! I am so jealous….
Hi Brian – Just stumbled onto your blog while obsessively searching for anything MJ related. :-) So nice to know there are others who recongnize what an amazing person he was. I’ve been listening to his music non-stop. What a sad, misunderstood person and what a loss to all of us – most especially his children. I truly believe he made the world a better place with his presence. It’s crazy that the loss of someone I had never met can make my heart physically ache. But indeed it does. So happy to have found your blog, I’ve already marked it as a favorite! PS. How is Damien Rice in concert? I really like his music.
