    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Plus a lot other bands I've seen for half an hour, but then moved on to other ones at Roskilde. And of course opening acts like The Black Keys (awesome), Futureheads, Richard Hawley and Petur Ben.

    Nearest place they held concerts was 4 hours away until I turned 18 and moved last year, so I've basically had a blast this year:D

    I’ve seen over 300 or so I’d guess.  Only a few stinkers, and a handful or regretful misses.
    seen The Black crowes most (45+), Pearl Jam (11), DMB (13), Jason Isbell (15). 
    Seen Primus, Metallica, Drive-by truckers, Jack White all around 10 times.
    Didnt miss many “80”s or alternative” bands in my younger years.   So much fun, and inexpensive looking back. 
    One of these years I’m REALLy going to slow way down
