Thank you for stopping by. Regrettably I cannot say that I have ever "moshed". You must be one brave soul to have ventured into this realm. The shirt for your dad was great.

My husband has taken all my daughters at various ages to rock concerts and there always seems to be a story to tell. He even took them to see Metallica.

My granddaughter definitely enjoyed it the most, but I had a grand time as well - both for the music and the fun time with her. These are memories we will treasure forever, aren't they? :) :) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853668220114748234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-42989426906272939662014-03-24T14:17:02.010-07:002014-03-24T14:17:02.010-07:00Great story!

Priceless memory for you and your son! :) Our son was 16 or so and had tickets with his buddies for the Genesis concert in Detroit...2 hours away. We were okay with them driving......until a week before one of their dads spotted them in a local Mickey D's dumping beer bottles into trash cans. Can you believe that dad called the other parents...those were the days..... and they were all grounded of course. My husband hated the waste of good money.....so said they could go, but HE was driving! They suffered the embarrassment and went. Jim found a place to hang out and read and then went back to wait in lot. He enjoyed the kids' stories and listening to Phil Collins all the way home. My son says that cured him from drinking and driving.....yeah right! Thanks for fun memories as usual Bob....LOVE this!Joan Stommenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588234153554069352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-39903137859827320172014-03-24T07:57:01.374-07:002014-03-24T07:57:01.374-07:00Ah yes, I do remember Metallica from my son's ...Ah yes, I do remember Metallica from my son's young teen years! Not my type of music but I sure heard a lot of it! Good for you on the moshing -- it would have scared me senseless! And an even better good for you for raising the type of son who would want you at a concert he was attending, much less buy you a ticket!<br />Great shirt for your dad too!!SarahBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14055028254076342358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-22490278829870679732014-03-24T07:42:05.487-07:002014-03-24T07:42:05.487-07:00Oh, you made me laugh out loud at your moshing. Yo...Oh, you made me laugh out loud at your moshing. You brave dad! You are awesome!<br /><br />I was at a stop for this very same Metallica tour! In Denver. My husband won tickets — and a limo ride to and from — from a radio station. We weren't quite as cool and moshing as you. First proof of that: When the limo driver arrived at the house, we asked if he'd please take our three daughters (and their babysitter) around the block for a spin since they'd never been in a limo. Second proof: We wore earplugs at the concert. BUT... we could still hear all the music, loud as it was. We enjoyed the show thoroughly and still do enjoy Metallica.<br /><br />That shirt for you dad is great! Love that.<br /><br />Again, you rock, you mosher you! :-DLisa @ Grandmas Briefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969179155988148054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-45591844379802126352014-03-23T17:48:20.435-07:002014-03-23T17:48:20.435-07:00Mom and dad (for you Brining kids, your Great Uncl...Mom and dad (for you Brining kids, your Great Uncle John was my dad) waited for us in the parking lot in Germany for the Foreigner 4 concert to get out! We were stationed in Wildflecken Germany at the time. It was a 2 hour car trip to go to the concert in Wurzburg. It was a great concert and a wonderful memory. Dad even let us listen to the band on the way home from the concert!Jeribusa63https://www.blogger.com/profile/17847954948632064130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-30504700774081258672014-03-20T18:15:44.225-07:002014-03-20T18:15:44.225-07:00You must have been the coolest Dad on the block!

I think it taught us to be more open minded to people and other musics, too!

My dad was a journalist and he *knew* Willie from interviewing him. He not only got front row tickets for me and friends, but a backstage pass as well. It was no place for 16-year-olds. But, man did we have fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711680341413590226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639400678385666398.post-68378256674867610042014-03-19T18:01:37.733-07:002014-03-19T18:01:37.733-07:00I would have waited in the parking lot, I don'...I would have waited in the parking lot, I don't like the noise or the kids, but good for you.
