...around and falling on her ass occasionally. When the song was done, she resumed her helpless position on the couch. I wanted to poke fun at her, but I couldn't-I'm the one responsible for getting her hooked on the BSB since I sent her to their concert in September to write that now infamous cover story for our first issue. Back then, I wanted a mean, whip-smart slice-and-dice piece on the Boys, but she fell in love with them and proselytizes incessantly. "You know how it's Jesus week?" she told me yesterday...
...Could millennial teeny boppers be truly obsessed with mid-'90s alterna-icons? Are they only interested in the radio hits, the popular albums, or does their love run deeper? Only by going to a live concert and experiencing a band face-to-face can an individual show true devotion, admiration and understanding of the music and the artist?

In a similar vein, the bouncers broke up even the smallest mosh pits, a sure sign that Avalon and No Doubt wanted the show to be family fun, a musical Make-a-Wish foundation set to ska-punk-pop. No Doubt rocked, but the crowd hardly moved...
...crude tape of Nine Inch Nails's Further Down the Spiral, the next destination was the Centrum in the beautiful metropolis of Ye Olde Worcester. With the luxury an intimate small venue gone, I was forced to tolerate stadium seating and a snack bar at the rock concert. But the event, lovingly called the "Sick and Twisted" tour, was more a spectacle than a concert. At an outrageously early 6:30pm, Mindless Self Indulgence mounted the stage to rile up the pit. They did not have to do much. Sporting some of the largest, strongest, angriest, most steroid-filled...
