I was and still am not a fan of Justin Timberlake's music, but he didn't deserve water bottles being thrown at him. <br /><br />But man, when AC/DC came on the place was transformed. They were AWESOME! Energy was through the roof. Of course headliners The Rolling Stones came on afterwards, and everyone was calling for AC/DC to come back.Valentino Assenzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-92023981300363989152014-05-22T14:22:45.791-04:002014-05-22T14:22:45.791-04:00T'is and I was at the 2007 and 2004 Prince sho...T'is and I was at the 2007 and 2004 Prince shows and saw him again in 2011.

Thanks for sharing.
My musical tastes ...Hey CJ, <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />My musical tastes are all over the board as well, I used to be a crazy concert goer, but have kept it to a few faithfuls as my credit card bills piled up. <br /><br />Dave Matthews Band is a yearly affair, partially because I know someone in the band, and I always treat U2 as a religious pilgrimage.<br /><br />Prince eh? Were you at that ACC concert in 2007 where he had the insane drummer, and capped off with a 15 minute rendition of "Purple Rain?" Off the hook awesome!<br /><br />I saw The Prodigy once at Lollapalooza, the lead singer's cat eye contact lenses freaked me out, and I couldn't get into them any more than that. <br /><br />Love my classic rock, soundtracks like from Almost Famous are always golden on my list, and I do like the hidden gem singer/songwriters (e.g.Amos Lee, if you've never heard him, give a listen, he's awesome). Being on the spoken word scene in Toronto you come across a lot of indy musicians that wanna back you up sometimes, and you come across some great artists.<br /><br />Come on, I guess music is a huge part of the commute eh?Valentino Assenzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-14895098904497812772014-05-22T14:00:01.595-04:002014-05-22T14:00:01.595-04:00Valentino,
I regret, that at 14, my musical tastes...Valentino,<br />I regret, that at 14, my musical tastes weren't all that refined. I don't think I knew of Erasure then. I didn't discover them, or Depeche Mode, or Yazoo, or New Order for that matter, until my late teens/early 20s when I met my boyfriend at that time, who then introduced me to also NIN and KMFDM.<br /><br />I became a huge Erasure fan and have been to all of their Ontario concerts since 1997. <br /><br />I am also a huge lover of Prince and his music, too.<br /><br />I have a massive appreciation for the Beach Boys and Doo Wop. I never did get into the hard stuff like hard rock or metal. I went through a country phase 1996 to 1997 (Hill, Chesney, McGraw, McBride and Krauss) which drove my boyfriend at that time crazy.<br /><br />And I still, STILL, STILL! love dance/trance/techno and rave. Prodigy is my band. C.J.

Or on the 3rd floor of Whiskey Saigon Sunday nights? <br /><br />I don't feel old at all thinking about those days, going back there makes me feel so damn young, full of crap, and less the weight of the world on my shoulders.
