Pretty impressive/cool! I can't believe you saw alanis morissette! I would love to see her.. Any good?

want my list?! as follows:
(Please note that I started going to concerts at the height of being a boy band loving teenager!)

98 degrees with Jessica Simpson and the Baha Men (yes, the guys that sing the song "Who let the dogs out?") embarrassing!
