    If that's your cup of tea, you might wish you had accompanied me to the Clash at Times Square in 1981. I arrived late and missed opening act (Dead Kennedys). Only song I remember was their encore, London Calling.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      Was at the Heat Wave Festival just outside of Toronto in '80 and The Clash was supposed to be there but they never made it, word has it they got held up at the border.

      I identify as a man but according to the label on a box of Stauffers Baked Lasagne I'm actually a family of four

        I got to meet Julian Bream and listened to him play for just a few of us in the tiny audience..
        He played in Vancouver when I was around 14 . I was taking lessons from a local well known teacher and Bream held a master class at his studio ..... We had a ten year old child prodigy at the school and I was scheduled to follow him . After the kid played I said to him ...." If you don't mind Mr Bream I'd rather just watch the class " ..... He smiled and said that was fine ..... The last thing I wanted was to follow up after that kid .... LOL

          How about major moments in every American's life?

          On August 8th, 1974 I saw CSN&Y at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. Most of you know how political that band was ("Chicago", "Ohio"). Some of you remember the news story of the day, which had global significance.
          When they came back from intermission and announced the news, the crowd went crazy.

          PS - Walking to my car afterward, I remember spotting it - a yellow 1968 Camaro with black vinyl roof. Then I thought, "That's not my car. My car doesn't have a smashed passenger side window."

            Just got home from L.A., where I attended the Oasis show on Saturday. Sold out two nights in a row, 89,000 people each night. The energy was amazing, the band was in peak form, the music magical.
