13. I was fortunate enough to see Queen and Freddie in 1980
just after the release of their album "The Game". Another One Bites the Dust was all over the radio. It was an incredible concert. I always wanted to see them again, but never got the chance, so I treasure that show.

Freddie was amazing and I miss him every day since his death.

15. And I got to hear Freddie sing "Love of My Life" a capella
from the rafters of Joe Louis arena in 1982.

I am lucky, too....

9. Upstairs At Nick's? Awesome!
I saw what is generally considered to be one of the best Mike Keneally shows ever there. Also saw a great Kramer/Tony Maimone show there.

As for Wesley, I have at least one live audio and video recording of him, so I can at least pretend...<sigh>

24. A friend of mine in Charlotte sent GG to the ER once...
Edited on Sat Oct-13-07 01:26 PM by ThinkBlue1966
GG tried to rape my pal Avery's g/f while on stage, and Avery laid him out cold.

Not sorry that freak is dead... not one bit.
