First Concert

[flannj]

Oh, and the first concert was the Police at the Rosemont Horizon. Can't remember whether Joan Jett or the Go-Go's opened that one. The entire town should be razed on general principles.

It was the Go-Go's.

The things I did in order to get laid.

Everyone's got a couple of those...I've taken dates to the Bangles and Kenny Rogers for only carnal reasons.

The Moody Blues.

It was worth it.

"Something something something in a basement in Buffalo Grove with my finger something something."

Nice pull.
BG was high school parties with Boston and Rush and Foreigner and Styx and Kansas and Heart and BTO and the Nuge and...

The Moody Blues was several years later... and it really was worth it.

Were you a Bison flannj? I went to Longfellow before we moved to Long Grove.

Barrington Bronco and later a St. Viator Lion.
BG parties were Viator.
It was quite the northwest suburban melange.

BG parties were Viator.

Seeing how the other half lived, then?

[Bort]

You guys all look alike to me.

I'm just saying... How many rich Jewish kids were there at St. Viator?

Though I now gather Viator didn't go co-ed until '87, so I guess it stands to reason.

Homo High.

I'm surprised that more of us didn't end up at Concordia.

You probably weren't the kind of athlete the coaches were looking for.

Didn't realize that frosted tips determined what kind of "athlete" you were.

Frosted tips and a willingness to masturbate on camera.

In any event, Viator doesn't seem to lack for impressive athlete alums...

Fanny pickers?  Really?  Good God.

They don't, but being bald at the age of 13 does
