This is one of those stubs where I had to do a little research to see why the heck I would be seeing this band. After a little poking around on the internet I discovered that Soul Asylum and the Screaming Trees were also on this tour which makes the whole thing make a lot more sense.
After I found out why I went to this I started to remember things. I must have been there with Michael and all the people who we hung out with that summer, Mark Geralds, Mark Samp, Darlene, Dan? I'm not sure. I can remember being on the lawn, trying to see Mark Lanegan from the walkway between the pavilion and the grass...That's about all. I bet I sat pouting on the lawn while the Spin Doctors played because the kids old enough to drive wanted to stay to see them.
Oh my stupid brain and it's giant holes where memories used to live.
Ha. I was just telling someone last night how I saw the Spin Doctors twice on accident! The first time was on this tour, I was drawn towards Soul Asylum, which of course is only less embarrassing these days. I had never heard of the Screaming Trees then but now they are the only band on this bill that I still like.
ReplyDeleteSeeing bands is accidentally can be the worst, especially when doing something like that and you have to admit publicly that you've seen that horrible band. I don't mind Soul Asylum now. I mean, I don't listen to them but I don't actively hate them. I think it's because I was such a huge fan as a kid so they have a special place in my heart.
