Well, that’s one advantage of having the Beatles as my favorite band–they can no longer do anything (at least not collectively) to tarnish themselves in my eyes. Obviously the circumstances of your disenchantment had to do with a lot more than Maiden.

The Dakota birthday anecdote reminds me of the time Madame BOF bravely pulled an all-nighter so she could take Alexandra to a Rufus Wainwright concert and get her back to Cornell, where she had to be the next morning…then, after crashing for a couple of hours, drove us out to Long Island so I didn’t have to miss a rare chance to hook up with NYF and our friend Dan (as, sadly, her absence this year has made me do this very day). WHY I LOVE HER, VOLUME XXVII.

Stellar reportage, stunning soul-baring, a vicarious thrill culminating in a happy ending and–not coincidentally–a worthy tribute to one of the greatest guys I know, who is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Bravo.

Still searching for another live band that can take me to such heights as Lemmy & co. — sad to say it hasn’t happened and probably never will. However, you give me too much credit. You know that ole merciless is not a Maiden fan: I just asked since I thought you’d make the experience more palatable and enjoyable for me. Honestly, I was very surprised you wanted in knowing your current sticky situation.
