Concerts!!!!

In all of my 21 years on this earth, I've only seen 1 concert. That was when I was 10 and me, my mom, sis and dad went to the Ohio State Fair to see Alabama playing. Back then, I liked their music, nowadays, not so much. If you look at some the pics I've put on my blog, that'll pretty much tell you the music I listen to nowadays. Most of it is from the Swinging London, British 60s. And most of the music I listen to tends to be rock, Latin, R&B, soul/jazz, or alternative

Here are some people I wouldn't mind seeing in concert some time.....

The Rolling Stones

Aerosmith

Rod Stewart

Foreigner

Paul McCartney

Shakira

Enrique Iglesias

Pink Floyd

Seal
