I’m still ALIVE! Brain surgery 1 yr ago, went to Denver show 12 days later, now in SP! Song Request!
My original post is below, but tonight I’m in St Paul! Play it for me here, plz!!!
My name is Andy and I’m doing my PhD and teach at CU Boulder. I'm a huge fan and have been to shows all over the world. I bought my tickets for my hometown (Denver) show 3 ½ years ago.
13 days before the upcoming concert, I felt like shit and went to the ER where they told me I had a brain bleed and needed emergency surgery. It saved my life and luckily, my doctor cleared me to go to the show! The first question I asked was if I could see PJ.
Eddie & the boys, can you dedicate Alive to me?

Awesome story. Dedicate Alive to this man! Glad your surgery was successful. I’ll be at this show… Be awesome to give a loud cheer when Ed gives you the shout out.A neurosurgeon saved a young man’s life in 1991 who fell out of a truck. That young man was 15 year old me, about a six weeks after I first heard the song Alive and became an instant PJ fan. That song had a very different meaning to me after that event as I’m sure it does for you.Rock on bud!0

I hope they overlook the misuse of the word “selfie,” as someone else was clearly taking that picture, and dedicate Alive to you anyway.0
