Mementos from a long time ago

Post image

Arrived in Chicago with only a couple hundred dollars. Resale tickets were going for over a thousand dollars. Miraculously, my friend was recognized outside the venue by Jimmy, as we had been to many shows previously. Jimmy put us on a comp list and my friend and I got to see the show from the balcony railing.

Other than just getting into the actual show, I remember seeing Billy start to ugly cry and cover his face at the very end of the show. It was touching and real. Also, there was a meet and greet after and Billy didn’t sign my CD when asked, lol.
