    Mainly cause of the name (and MIL likes some...interesting music so this wouldn't phase her at all). Pay to *** by Bad Brains

    Or wait, Darling Nikki by Prince would be pretty embarassing.

    Valentine, are you going to see Bruce at Wrigley?!

    HA. Funny actually.  DH & FIL go every time he's here, but they've seen shows at Wrigley & the acoustics are terrible, so they'd rather not spend the $$$.  I think they're holding out hope that he'll play in Milwaukee or somewhere in Ohio & then we'll go to that one.

    Doesn't help that they are die hard Sox fans and hate anything to do with Wrigley.  Silly boys.

    Sadie is not impressed.

    I think the first time I saw them might have been the Picaresque tour?  Not sure.  I didn't know much about them, and they were actually the opener.

    The Crane Wife tour was awesome.

    I saw them do all of The Hazards of Love at Stubbs for SXSW '09.

    I hate that I missed their last trip through MKE 'cause I was sick.  :(
