And what were you before that? o_O

You have very good taste in music. No wonder you friended me!

A bright young child with absolutely no mood swings.

Ha ha!!

Some of those concerts I really wanted a brown paper bag on my head so no one I knew would see me there.

[tahoebean.livejournal.com]

I used to deliver Aretha's newspaper when I was 10, hah! ;)

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

How lucky for you. Did she tip well?

[tahoebean.livejournal.com]

no, she didn't... hah :D

OOOh, I love music posts, I'm making my list now, but it will take a while-- I'll post it separately-- when were the Cosby concerts??

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

Both Cosby shows were at the Puyallup Fair in Washington.

Man, I love his comedy-- I should have gone to my big graduation just to see him. Now, I'm all depressed because these allegations seem like they have some validity. :(

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

I didn't give the first accuser the time of day but with subsequent women telling their story, looks like Bill is a slime ball. I am always disappointed when someone of note is found to be human.

We liked his comedy too but probably won't ever go see him again.

my friend's sister was married to a Hooter, i think they are divorced now.

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

Which Hooter? One of them is exploring alternative life styles.

[laurushka.livejournal.com]

i don't know-- they lived in Hawaii. My friend had about 5 or more sisters, it's hard to keep track of them all.
