Some Great Live Music

When I was a boy, I went to the record store with only a dollar in my pocket. You couldn't buy much for a dollar, so I went to the discount table and bought nine 10-cent, 45-RPM singles. They all turned out to be junk except this one...

He was unknown then and little known now, but I'm still a fan. He died on stage in Yokohama, Japan in 1996.

One of the greatest live acts of all-time was this band from Boston. It featured lead singer Peter Wolf, (a former disc jockey), lead guitar player J. Geils, and harmonica soloist Magic Dick.

I saw them four times. Here they are back home at the Boston Garden.

They turned sleeze into an artform:
"I don't care if she waddles like a duck,
or talks with a lisp;
I'll still think
she's a good lover,
if those dollar bills are crisp."
