The ticket was more than it was supposed to be. The opening band sucked so bad it was all I could do not to scream. The merch was all incredible- but expensive- so I forced myself not to buy any.
None of that matters. The Dinosaur Jr. set was absolutely, positively, fucking amazing. I wore a shit-eating grin the whole time. I stood/heard in awe the whole time. I knew, the whole time, that I was watching the best guitar playing that I would ever see in my entire life. I will go to many, many more shows in my life. I will spend thousands of dollars on records and cd's throughout the course of my life. But I'm also gonna go to my grave having never again been moved by guitar playing in the way that I was last night. That shit just doesn't happen twice. That's okay- almost everything else does.
Anyway now I can say that I've experienced it, for one time at least. Like Wonka said, "everybody has been given one- and one is enough for anybody."
There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day
