Her Life Was Saved By Rock & Roll

I’d like to apologize for the random and infrequent posts of late. All I can say is that there is a LOT of stuff about to pour forth from my head, and this is just the first of many, many posts about many, many subjects.

Let’s just get back in the swing here. This is a pop quiz, an essay test, if you will. Please leave your answer in the comments, and it may be as long and detailed as you like.

Question: Who, when and where was the first rock and roll show you went to live?

Answer: Mine was the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Pirate’s World in Davie, Florida. Pirate’s World is a now-defunct amusement park. It was 1971 and I went with Scotty Neaill, Jill Clark and Lee Harris. I wore white denim hot pants and navy blue & red granny boots. I don’t remember the top. It was a couple hours drive to Davie and I was thrilled that my folks let me go. I’d had the chance to see 3 Dog Night at the Miami Beach Convention Center a couple of weeks earlier and didn’t care enough for them to go. But Ike and Tina? That was a different story.

And that was my baptism in the church of rock and roll. Never looked back, either. So? You guys? Who was the first?
