Neil Diamond x2 (with parents, very young...)

Ratt w/ Poison (young and stupid, circa 1986/7)

Merl Saunders (found out after the gig that he's a sexist POS. If true, I wish I hadn't given him my $)

Don Henley (went for New Bohemians opener circa 1989-90)

----------------

Regarding someone not enjoying Jack Johnson. I enjoyed his show and the ALO opener. Kind of a teeny-bopper crowd, but he put on a good show, I thought.

That's some pretty harsh talk considering you don't even know if it's true. I assume that you are basing this on some sort of rumour...
I met Merle once and he was 100% class act. I've never heard anyone say anything like what you just did.
I'm glad I saw him play and wish I'd seen him more.

Neil Diamond x2 (with parents, very young...)

Laugh if you want...I saw Neil Diamond with my wife a few years ago.  It was actually semi-entertaining.  I couldn't believe how many of his songs I've heard and didn't realize it.  Wouldn't go again but...not bad

Plus his clothes are so sparkly!

I'll admit it's hear-say, but two separate people told me later that night, 16 years ago, that he'd been in trouble for beating his wife and/or girlfriend and that's why they did not go to the show. At the time, I had no reason to doubt them and I haven't thought about this whole incident in many years. They kinda made me feel like I should have already known, like it was common knowledge. A little Googling just now turned up nothing. So, I'll retract the statement, shame myself publicly for not confirming a 16 year old rumor prior to re-stating it, and quietly slink off into the corner.

In my defense, my 'friends' those many years ago made me feel like an idiot for not knowing this, so I assumed it was common knowledge.

Plus his clothes are so sparkly!

Just like a real diamond!

Billy Kreutzman plead no contest to assaulting his girlfriend in the early 90s. Did you friends tell you not to see Grateful Dead shows?
