I Admit It...
In 1977 my mom remarried. It lasted 3 months! At any rate, at an attempt to "win" me over.
The bastard got me a ticket to see... Andy Gibb!!! It was ridiculous. I'll never forget being at the concert with my mother,(I was 9 years old), and marveling in disbelief how all the other little teeny-boppers were like SCREAMING at the top of their lungs for like the WHOLE show! It was SO teen-idol out of control. I however, just sat there sedately, politely clapping after each song. It was hell. Andy Gibb was NOT my cup of tea. Neither were the BeeGees. I can as an adult and as a musician of sorts appreciate their songwriting and I must admit "How Deep Is Your Love" IS a beautiful song although the saccharin production still does get to me/get in the way a bit for me.
My concert "life" did not begin for me until a few years later, when I saw the Mac on The Mirage tour!!! Now THAT, was something!!!
