And doesn’t parenthood keep me out of the loop for a lot of that stuff so I usually miss out?

Yeah, aren’t gigs only for special bands now, like Jesus and Mary Chain with overpriced tickets from scalpers?

Would you believe I didn’t have a strong urge to go see them even though I like them? I was hyped to see TMBG at the Neptune but I saw them at the Showbox Sodo recently enough (for me anyway) and was sad that ‘all ages’ was 14 or older so I couldn’t take the kid. Could I have tried to sneak him in since he is 13?

Isn’t my kid FINALLY old enough to go to shows more? Won’t the teen angst be worth it to go out to shows more?

Didn’t they do a family show? Don’t TMBGs sometimes do that? Wasn’t that my kiddos first show way back when? Wasn’t it at 2 in the afternoon and wasn’t there a tornado in town that day? Wasn’t that a crazy day?

Don’t you know that if I had a time machine, I’d only use it to go see gigs for bands I like back when they were not so huge?

Yeah, isn’t it more than a bit rubbish that I didn’t see (for example) Depeche Mode and Echo and the Bunnymen (and the aforementioned J&MC) until decades after I should have?
But didn’t I see The War on Drugs before they got famous?

Don’t we need a time machine to fix that? Where is science on fixing our big misses in live music consumption?
Is it odd that I don’t like big venue concerts? That said I did see a few in the now long gone St. Louis Arena including Depeche Mode. Did I go mostly because the tickets were free because I had radio station connection?
Even though it was free was NIN kinda meh and besides didn’t I go cause I wanted to see the opening act of The Jim Rose Circus Sideshow?
Was I disappointed St. Louis didn’t let Mr. Lifto do his full act?

Didn’t I see The Jim Rose Circus Sideshow at a relatively small venue back in the early 90s? And was Mr. Lifto allowed to do his thing at that venue?
A: Yes. Yes, he was. Ouchie.

Aren’t you looking forward to the day when your kids are old enough that their musical tastes have matured and you find yourself going to concerts you want to be at, again?
(Yes, I promise, it does happen!)

Did you know that’s the most original AND best use of a time machine I’ve ever heard?

Wasn’t there a Doctor Who episode with David Tennant where he and rose were going to go see Ian Dury and the blockheads, but got sidelined, as you do in a time machine? Wasn’t the Doctor singing Rhythm stick?
