Oh no Teri! That IS an unforgivable act by a parent! So was that your only shot at seeing them, or did you see them later? I was the first "overprotected" child and my parents were oh so strict. I think they knew better than to keep me from those Police concerts, as all hell would have broken loose. I have to give them credit for letting me do that ... too young to drive, but we tagged along with my friends' older brothers. Guess I really should thank those guys all these years later since my life wouldn't have been the same without them! I was fortunate enough to see one or two Ghost shows and three Synchronically shows. If anything, all this talk of March 10 is flooding my mind with nothing but great memories! I can still feel the pulse of the beat with them opening with Don't Stand So Close to Me (if I remember correctly). Whew, I'm getting all flushed! Dreaming of winning the lottery and buying out the whole event for US! Night!~ Michelle In a message dated 11/8/02 8:42:24 PM, burgaus@juno.com writes: << That stinks! If I had $10,000+ I would *definitely* donate it, and hawk what I could to buy the tickets. I remember buying the first Police album the year after it came out. I was eleven. I remember having the opportunity to actually see the guys and in my home town in 1983--ONLY to be dragged off to another state to a family reunion instead. I've NEVER forgiven my father's family. It's been 22 years since I've gotten together with them, as long as The Police have been apart. I thought I was over being mad, but not now. I'm happy for those who can go--but I'm still jealous. It's so unfair that so many of the real fans are left out of this very special time. I just had to say it, I'm really bummed. Teri >>
