A meme has been going around social media asking what band you regret not seeing.<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately my answer to this question exceeds the 8,000 character limit for FaceBrick.<\/p>\n

And the idiots at FaceBrick had made all my personal NOTES disappear.\u00a0 They LIED when they said they would still be accessible, even though no new ones could be added.<\/p>\n

So, ZuckerTurd, I’ll just use my blog for anything I care about.\u00a0 Fortunately, I have all my notes in actual Word documents, so I have lost nothing but convenience.<\/p>\n

And so, without further ado, here is my answer to this meme:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really regret never seeing the Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and SRV.<\/h3>\n

          Out of this list, I have photographed a significant percentage of the artists and have gotten to know some of them pretty well.\u00a0 Some have been clients, and working for Motown Records in the 70s gave me access to lots of people not listed here.<\/p>\n

          I’m probably leaving out a few, but if I\u00a0 think of anything else, I will update this.<\/p>\n

          What performer do you regret not seeing?<\/h1>\n
