Thank You Uncle Bobo

Exactly twenty years ago, this was how I spent New Year's Eve. With the Tom Tom Club opening. We were on the floor at midnight, watching Bill Graham be Father Time, beneath the balloons. Massive joygasm!

P.S. Could this finally be be "The Al Franken Decade" ?? Go Al, Go!

One time when we were at Shoreline, we saw Bill come out of a side door and walk up the stairway next to us. Not that it was that big a deal to see him, b/c we always did, but our friend Jef says, really loud, "HEY LOOK IT'S UNCLE BOBO!" OMG, Annie if you could've seen the dirty look Bill shot Jef. lol

I was out in the lot for that show, but the music was pumped outside. That was a fun set of shows! I got in the first and second night. A few of my friends got in and had a blast!
