Grew up on Kenny Loggins, Anne Murray, Huey Lewis & the News, then came Rap with MC Hammer (now just Hammer) and the punk/rap of Beastie Boys I ripped from my sister's collection. Been to a few concerts from the late 80's to now. First actual concert was Paula Abdul's Spellbound tour with Color Me Badd opening. Almost a decade later my 1st socially accepted concert was Primus, whom I've seen more than 5 times since. I've seen David Bowie with NIN on the Outside tour. Beastie Boys Tibetan Freedom concert the first year, Ozz-Fest when he did it for free, Jimmy Buffett. You name it, I've seen pretty most everything. I've not quite yet braved a rap concert, but would like to.

I've been breaking my 11-year-old son from the traditional Disney/kids music for a few years with bands like the Aquabats and a few others.
