I know! And yet, I listen to much more punk, goth, grunge, alternative and rap! I graduated in the 90s, what can I say.
Growing up in Northern CA, you probably aren't surprised that I met a lot of people who SWORE they had seen me at a dead show. My aunt even called us one time, saying she thought she'd seen me at a show but I was dancing naked around a fire (or something like that, she was still high when she left this message!) so she didn't think it really was me, but if it was, hey cool...
Have you seen the documentary Festival Express? I highly recommend it, if you haven't! We saw it with my dad, which sparked some AMAZING new revelations from him (like, when he hitchhiked to SF as a teenager and ended up at a Janis Joplin concert and someone on her staff heard him talking -- he's from TX and has a thick accent -- and invited him backstage to meet her b/c she was homesick. Stuff like that. WOW.) I'd heard many of my mom's stories from the day, but hearing my dad's is a new thing for me, since they got divorced when I was really little.
