There once was a girl from Regina
Who had an elastic vagina
And when she orgasm'd
It caused such a spasm
Her lover was blown clear to China.

Agree on the live show.  The guy they got to play the bass parts wasn't Hooky, but he did an outstanding job at capturing his sound.  They played Ceremony (which has a cult following and wasn't unexpected) but also the very unexpected 586 and the aforementioned Atmosphere.  Had they lost "Regret" and whatever it was…

Chef Boy-ar-dee mini ravioli.  And those make your own pizza kits.  (I still have a thing for raw pizza dough.)

I was in high school and I had my boyfriend and three other guys over to watch movies at my house.  We settled on the original Terminator, which we'd all seen several times, but my parents hadn't seen it.  We'd taken over the family room where the larger TV and VCR were and were happily chowing down on pizza and…

In the days immediately following grad school, I discovered eBay, and being broke at the time, I sold off all my concert t-shirts from the mid-late 80s. I had a number of Rush shirts, a really cool REM shirt from their Document tour, a Peter Gabriel shirt with dancing chickens, and a U2 shirt from the Unforgettable…
