I have a few pics of Nathaniel at shows but they’re backed up and not handy.
I saw U2, Sting, Depeche Mode and Green Day with my daughters; it’s great bonding / transcending generational barriers with your kids with music, isn’t it? Kinda funny, my oldest gave me Billy Idol’s Christmas CD this year. (FWIW, we were both disappointed).
Yeah it’s fun. Esp now that they have their own bands they want to see. Taking Nathaniel to see Clutch near his birthday soon.
