Sonic Youth

Last night, we went to the Fillmore and saw Sonic Youth.
The ninth greatest band in the history of the universe--without which, there would be no contemporary bands such as Green Day, My Chemical Romance, AFI, etc.
There would be no Nirvana without Sonic Youth.
It was a spectacular show. I was right up against the stage. Kim Gordon scowled at me once or twice--but she's a pretty scowly person, anyway.
Now, the Fillmore. It's like the second or third most famous venue in the Bay Area. There are all these pictures on the walls of all the bands who played there. I saw a picture of Jimi Hendrix, and it made me sad.
There was also a picture of Courtney Love as Hole, Carlos Santana, The Greatful Dead, The Doors, and countless other rock n' rollers.
I want to play there someday.
