I still hate myself for not accepting a free ticket to see Amy Winehouse in a relatively small theatre in Chicago.... I think I stayed up late getting high and playing video games because I felt guilty that I couldn’t bring my now wife.
So disappointing to see her visible spiral into self-destruction! The early videos showed her true talent, the later live performances were so sad to watch!
Similarly, Whitney!
Yes, Whitney. It was heartbreaking to watch ‘The Voice’ get booed offstage because the drugs had finally taken their toll.
Amy, Prince, Aretha, Tom Petty... I put off seeing them in concert and now it’s too late. Thats why nowadays, if a show pops up that I want to go to, I go, because tomorrow ain’t promised to none of us.
Sometimes it’s good to have missed your hero’s. I saw Prince on the Musicology tour, and it was so contrived and awful that my friend and I ran out through a torrential downpour to sit in my car in the parking lot to wait for the show to let out. She and I were laughing so hard at the suckage that it was visually pissing off the people we sat around, and we are both huge Prince fans. The same thing happened when my wife and I went to see Santana a few years back, only we weren’t laughing, just bored.
The list of people I really must see is rather small these days, like three bands tops.

I love Halloween. I don't see it as "venerating" anything. To me it's a chance to get out of ourselves for a bit. For most I think that increases empathy. I don't buy any of the propaganda. Plus I love giving out candy.
Missed seeing Alice In Chains.
You’d be the perfect age to feel the burn of River’s death the most. I’m trying to come up with a parallel for heterosexual little dudes.. like Elle McPherson or Wynona Rider dying.
Farrah........
You feel sorry for Les, his is Elizabeth I
George Micheal dying on Christmas on the other hand.... Wham! Devastated me.
Had the misfortune of dying on the same day as MJFarrah........
I was so glad I got to see Dimebag twice on the height of Pantera's run. Almost backed out of the last one just from sheer exhaustion, but went anyway. So glad I powered through and saw that show.
Missed seeing Alice In Chains open for Metallica back in the day ( Dirt tour) because their bus got screwed up somehow on the way to the show. Candlebox was not an equivalent substitute, but to be fair, most wouldn't be.
Lucky enough to catch BB King three times though.
Aww man I wish I had been able to see B.B. King.

A buddy of mine badgered me to go one year. Glad I went - I don't think he came back to town after that. B.B. and Bobby "Blue" Bland - what a night.
