Sounds like you had a great time! But I know what you mean about the sweaty people and all. That's actually why I stopped going to concerts. We used to go to all the best ones when I was younger, you know bands like KISS, Cheap Trick, Metallica, Tom Petty and a whole bunch of other ones I don't remember right now. We always walked away gasping for air with our ears ringing. One time, someone passed out and they never hit the ground because the crowd was so packed in that the person woke up before people had a chance to realize he had blacked out and wasn't just pushing them. Then we started going to all the "head-banging" concerts. Remember those, back in the 80's? That was the end of it for me because we were constantly being sprayed by people's sweat as they whipped their heads up and down with their long sweaty hair flying all over the place - eewwwwwww. Maybe I grew up, but maybe I just couldn't take the swarming heaving sweaty masses anymore.

Anyway, glad you got a chance to see your idol. That always makes it all worth it!
