Saw her in concert 30 years ago. Happy belated 60th birthday, Natalie.

@Jezibaba closer to forty for me. Little band opening for REM.

@Jezibaba I think it was 1985. Yeah would've been. I hadn't married my now ex yet so it would have been that summer or fall maybe. At Memorial Hall in KC. So 38 years ago?

@SaltyVeruca Tempus fugit and all that. I'd have loved to have seen them at that point. ❤️

@Jezibaba Of course we had no idea who they were until way later. Just some band to sit through. 😁

@Jezibaba I'm sure they were fine. Hell even REM was new. It was not a large concert at all. Very Indie crowd with some guys behind us complaining it wasn't The Violent Femmes opening instead. That's literally all I remember about the entire thing.

@SaltyVeruca I can see 80s dudes hollering out Violent Femmes at an REM concert :facepalm:

@Jezibaba So fucking irritating. They're sixty now. Lollllz.

@Jezibaba I just asked my ex. He said they were older so more like mid sixties to seventy. 😁

@Jezibaba Nobody is more shocked by reality than me. I'm sixty. Ex is sixty one. We is what they call he elderly.

@SaltyVeruca I'm not far behind ya. My aging mantra is "at least everyone else is doing it, too."

@Jezibaba imagine being remembered 38 years later by some randos hearing you scream THE VIOLENT FEMMES MAN!

@SaltyVeruca makes you wonder what about yourself has been remembered. 😶‍🌫️

@Jezibaba Oh I've heard from some former students. Basically, no interest otherwise. I'm not the same. I'm sure those gentlemen aren't either. 😉

@SaltyVeruca some of it must be amusing. Like I wonder what that woman is doing who we saw peeing on the side of the road on route 40 in Kansas about 1987?

@Jezibaba Peeing along I 70 in Kansas right now as we type. I kid.
