You Americans are fools. If you've got $100, you should immediately go invest it.

In reply to 2) What was the best concert

Youssou N'Dour, live at a concert hall in Dakar, Senegal. He was amazing, as always, and went for maybe five or six hours (he was still going strong when we left early at 3 a.m.). The backup dancers shook their thangs so hard, spangles fell off their sparkly outfits. The hometown crowd was totally into him. Everyone was cracking up at all his jokes. Inconveniently, they were almost all in Ouollof, so I missed out on them. Except one story about an immigration hassle in Paris (he asked the crowd, "And when you apply for a visa, what does French Immigration say?" Holds out the mike. The crowd roars, "NON!" "And you reapply, and what do they say?" "NON!" Well, maybe you had to be there ...

That's how I felt about him, until I saw him in concert. All I can recommend is -- don't spoil it by seeing him live. Or if you really want to see him live, smoke a fattie beforehand. He obviously did.

In reply to 5) What's the best opening

I saw Melissa Etheridge open for (I think) the Eagles at Alpine Valley once. She's awesome.

In reply to 3) What was the worst concert

Survivor, opening for REO Speedwagon at the Taste of Chicago in 2000.

What I remember is that everybody watching was around 30--absolutely no age diversity. And also, it was free, so Genghis is still a bigger dork.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. 1995. United Center, Chicago. What I remember most is that I don't think I've ever seen anyone as high as Petty was onstage. And he was still amazing!

In reply to 1) What was the first concert

I was fifteen when my parents took me to see Chicago. Since then, I've often considered myself the biggest dork on the planet as a result. But at least it wasn't Survivor.
