My Mom dragged me to 3 concerts before I was 10 years old, so I didn't really appreciate the music or the atmosphere.
One was in '75, Barbara Mandrell in Nashville.
One was in '76, Elvis in Atlanta.
One was in '77, Tom Jones in Charleston.
She always managed to get to the stage to take a close up pic and I got a glimpse of the man himself.

My Dad was just not her speed, he's chilled out and super calm and logical, calculated risks like he was playing 5D chess, no she wanted the adrenaline the rush and new guys were the only thing that got that for her, after him she went through 5 husbands and maybe 8 boyfriends, it might have been fun for her but it made my childhood a living hell.
Now she's old and had some wisdom taught the hard way, got a decent guy well into her 60s and then lost him... fvcking Karma'd hardcore. Well deserved. Which is why when she tries preaching her Bible stuff at me I look at the Party Girl behind the eyes and ice her out.
Altered states are a bad time because they don't last, they give you just a tiny bit of good times and then fade. What the hell good is that, I revel in my reality because I can count on it to always be this way, yeah it sucks but it will eventually end permanently and that's something to look forward to.
