My first concert as a human was with my parents - they took me to see The Beach Boys. My first concert as a human without parents was Beastie Boys. I guess I like boys. Wait...that sounds wrong. I have parents, I just meant my first concert that they let me go to by myself.
I believe my first record purchased actually consists of 18 records that I received for 1 penny...oh those silly record clubs. But really, who didn't use aliases to set up numerous accounts that you'd never pay for???
Frickin' Tommy Lee and I was told not to mention the whole "Pam Anderson thing". There was some sort of technical issue which was causing me to hear myself and him in delay so it took me 7 sweaty seconds to realize he told me to "f**k off" as he hung up.
This happened at Gannon University's WERG - FM 90. I was the morning show host, and as a starving college student, I also had a job as a flower delivery guy. One morning my boss at the flower shop asked me to make some emergency deliveries to like a funeral or something. Not wanting to miss out on the pay, I popped in Phish - A Live One side one and hit the road to make the deliveries, figuring I was fine for the next hour plus. About 20 minutes into my delivery the CD began skipping. That was a frantic drive back to the studio to remedy the issue. I still wonder to this day if anybody realized that the CD was skipping...I mean, after all, it WAS Phish.
