    I’m going to see the Pixies tonight. It will be my 4th time seeing them. Should be a great show.

    ^^^ Two more excellent choices, thanks!  Would loved to have seen either or both the Police and B-52's!

    In 2006 or so I went to the Indy 500 with a friend who lives there. The day before the race the B-52s and Third Eye Blind played a show at the racetrack. It was a great show. That was the only time I have seen either of those bands.

    Nice!  How cool that B-52's were still at it.

    Edit:  wow, I just checked.  Appears they are still an active band!

    A little.  I didn't follow Bjork much beyond The Sugercubes' Life's Too Good LP, but it's fun and seemed rather different at the time.  I love here voice and that distinctive growling.  :-)

    One of the cool things about the 80s was the coming out (so to speak) of gays and lesbians in American culture, particularly in places like San Francisco, NYC, and to some extent, Los Angles.  I remember this really cool club on the edge of the Castro district in S.F. near the corner of Castro and Market St. (wish I could remember the name of it) that played great music- post punk, new wave, hip disco, even some no wave- and was a place that was kind of a coming together of gay and straight patrons.  Really cool place.
    Then there was the time some of my crew from Da Anza College Bookstore went up to the city to hit a few clubs.  One of our little group was openly gay (and, sadly, one of the first to be lost to AIDS), and he said, "OK you guys, I went to your clubs, now lets go to one of mine," and he took us to The Stud in the heart of the Castro.  That was a trip.  The artwork on the walls would make most of us blush, lol.  Good times.

    I dug her for a bit then grew tired of her, lol.  I think the swan dress I wrote her off.  Google swan dress to see what i'm talking about.

    I went to Neighbours in Seattle.  One of the biggest gay clubs at the time.  Circa 1996.  The music was amazing.  The scene was all new to me and had NEVER experienced seeing anything like that before, lol.  We went w a group of 12 and were all straight.  Had a fun time dancing.  I'm sure your experience was like mine then @brian

    For sure, bud.  Sounds like a good time.  And I don't know how it is today, but Seattle was a great town in my years up on the Olympic Peninsula in the early 90s.
