Birthday: 9/27 (never forget)

Born: "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me" - Mac Davis, I don't know the song. My only memory of Mac Davis is he being on the Muppet Show and one of the characters making a joke about him being big...a big Mac...haw haw haw.

When I was 21: Mariah Carey - "Dreamlover" I'm sure it was on while I sat in my room watching TV for my 21st birthday. I didn't have any friends to hang out with so I spent my 21st watching TV and being very depressed. If I had only been a week later I could have said Meatloaf's "I'd Do Anything Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)". Damn.

"The Revival" by Tony! Toni! Tone! It was one of the first CDs I ever bought. I'm so ashamed to own it, but from what I remember it was a good CD if you liked that sort of thing. Which I did. Years ago. 

Sonic Youth at the Warfield. I was living in Berkely and my friend invited me out to see them. I had no clue who they were, I had only heard some music off Sister and thought it was cool--where "cool" meant absurd and strange and nonsensical.

Anyway, I don't remember the concert at all only that it was VERY loud and they seemed really bored up there (besides the drummer). I remember thinking concerts weren't very interesting at all, and it was kind of a waste of money when you considered the price of a ticket versus the price of a CD.

I usually leave that bit out when I tell people.
