Gaaaaaack she just stripped down in front of the cameraman like it was nothing!   Holy moly

She's trying to meet a rich Texan, I don't think she realizes how little the camera guys make.  

[Chicklet]

Amy Mann early in her career with her first band, was really good. Hall and Oats were the big draw. I was the odd person who didn't sneer at the opener.

I saw Neil Diamond in Minneapolis in 1970.

Have you seen his video for the virus? “Hands, washing hands/Don’t touch me, I won’t touch you," Sweet Caroline, Bom, Bom, Bom

[sagittarius sue]

Megan would've liked the sandwich I had at Arby's today, brown sugar bacon turkey sandwich.  It was really good!

Saw him in NOLA the same year!!!  

Was it the tour with Carole King and Joe Mama? I think it was 1971. I was a junior in high school.

I checked the listing for next week's show. It's someone named Ashley T who sounds like a good train wreck:

Can it be next week already? This week blows. 

[ShoePrincess]

Is there a hair growing out of that mole?

I've got to look it up.  He was such a sexy guy in his early days!

I saw the Beastie boys open for Madonna.

My worst one was a computer programming class I took my senior year, taught by a math prof.  I suddenly found myself confronted with trigonometry which I had last encountered four years earlier.  I had to drop it.

I took an information economics class in my masters program. Professor looks at the class and smiles and says, "Don't worry. I'm only going to the first derivative in calculus."  Wha?  I'm an English/history major. 

It was an interesting experience. Half of the course was math/econ the other half was info econ and business planning (this was early online shopping days and everyone was talking about e-commerce). The math kids did the math fine, but faltered at the business part. The business folks like me struggled thru the math in study groups, and did well in the business. We finished the course while most of the math kids didn't.

And some of my coworkers think I'm old when I say my first concert was Billy Idol's Rebel Yell tour.

My first concert was Elton John at the Hollywood Bowl, 1973. Goodby Yellow Brick Road. With my first bf too.

I was a bit startled at how much he's aged, but it happens to the best of us.

My first concert was styx's Grand Illusion tour the summer of 1978. I saw them at Merriweather Post Pavilion.

[mk828]

Well.. it's 9:50 and she hasn't even had surgery yet.. Another dud of an episode on a long list of many this season.. Feel like there have only been about 2 success stories this season.

 

BTW I'm pretty jealous of all of the great concert you all have been to.

There is always hope for another Shenee or Maja!

[libgirl2]

I felt kind of bad for her. She is trying and seems so frustrated that mom isn't helping. I get that it's on her but mom could do more.

Megan: "...for this surgery that I worked so hard for."
Me: "Biiiiitch. I've sat through the last hour and 48 minutes. I worked harder cracking on your ass than you did losing your ass."

OMG! Tears, I'm laughing so hard!  Thank you!  I needed that.

I saw the Beastie boys open for Madonna.  

Amazing! And I'm sure that was when Madonna cared about her fans enough to start when scheduled.

[Guest]

I saw The Smiths in 1985. I still can't believe I saw them live.

A few extra lines for Cassandra!!!  Hope that means a bigger check for the rerun!!!

When she first came in, I thought she was going to tell them to get the hell out.

[umgoblue]

I saw New Edition in the 7th grade.  Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit.

Best concert eva?  Prince...hands down!

Because it's Prince...goes without saying.

Megan looks HUGE for being under 500.....

[Callaphera]

There's seven minutes left, Megan. Learn to read a clock. Stop trying to make the surgery happen, it's not gonna happen!

[Arynm]

Mine was George Michael. Faith tour 1988. He was amazing!

She will not be getting any surgery this episode. I am sure

[Snarkastikate]

She doesn't look the least bit smaller to me.  

[Caoimhe]

If all your vegetables are covered with brown sugar and butter that isn't helpful Megan.

True story.  I saw Prince when he was the opening act for Rick James!  

[OoogleEyes]

My first concert was Three Dog Night at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA

Joy to the World,  yinz!

Apologies to mods, this is off topic, but if anyone is looking for a good novel while you’re staying in, this is one of the best books I have ever read. I loaned out my first copy (years ago) one too many times and never got it back, but I ordered another copy and looking forward to re-reading it now.

back to your regularly scheduled snarking.

I think Dr. Now's son would run like hell if he saw Megan coming, and I think the son is married.

Best concert I've been to hands down was Prince's Purple Rain tour in 1983.

[7EasyPayments]

David Bowie in '74.

You can hear me cheering on the David Live album that was recorded at the Tower Theater. 😉

[Minivanessa]

Janis Joplin in Houston, 1969 or 70. Third row center seats. It’s been all downhill from that. 😎

I always had a thing for Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull

I actually met Anderson!  I saw Tull several times in Detroit while I was going to UM. When I was back in DC, they were supposed to play at U Maryland. When we got to the venue, the show was cancelled. I told my companion that I heard that the Stones stayed at the Holiday Inn, if it was good enough for the Stones, it was good enough for Tull.

So we went to the nearest HI and there they were, in the parking lot! I got to meet all of them. Turns out they were there, but the equipment truck had broken down on the highway, so no show. 

[ShortyMac]

My mom got to see Zeppelin on back-to-back nights on their last tour, 1977. She won tickets from the radio for the second night. Forever jealous.

I would have been fine with them doing the whole show. They were great.

Who is surprised she has gallbladder issues?

Was that at the Garden?  I know Aimee Mann was from Boston, right?  I'm trying to figure out if I saw her!  Ha ha!  I definitely would not have been cool enough to realize it.

She's not retaining water, the flip flops just make her look fat.

My biggest concert regret was not seeing The Elements (Earth, Wind and Fire) before Maurice stopped performing (Parkinson's).  Now I was way too young and can't remedy that one, though.

Arsenio Hall said he looked like Rick James without the wig, and that's all I think when I hear of him.
