Re-living teenhood

Well, last night I had a visit with my past. I took my daughter to the Bon Jovi concert. This was a concert I desperately wanted to see when I was 13 years old, and like ticket prices today, it's WAY expensive! Luckily a friend of mine offered me the tickets (half priced) and I decided to take my 13 year old daughter....

....yes, the band I was in LOVE with at 13....I am taking my starstruck teenager too. Ironic?

While I totally enjoyed our time together, singing his old songs and not really sure of the new ones....I couldn't help but look around. There, everywhere, were all kinds of parents, once teenage fans, with their own children. Few bands can maintain such stardom and take on two or more generations of fans.

I could have let the situation bring me down...getting older, being a mom (of a teenager), remembering my good ole rock n roll days....no, I have fantastic memories of being that young kid to being a hot girl in my 20's at concerts. I'm glad I could take my daughter to her first concert, and I hope she has many more to come...with me or with her friends.
