Violent Femmes were the soundtrack to my college experience.
Beautiful girl/love your dress/High school smiles/oh yes/Beautiful girl/love your dress/where she is now/I can only guess
Right this minute, I have on my Docs with a pair of sweats and the so cool California black tee shirt my dear friend Ida Nadine sent me. Ida Nadine is right in my head because she got me a really big tee shirt and I can roll up the sleeves and look really butch.
Gone daddy gone, love is gone.
I am such a geek.
But you know what, dear and gentle readers?
I'm pretty damn happy.
It's the little things.
So, if you were at either the Hill Auditorium or Fox theater shows in 86-87, we could call that our first date.

Sadly, Chris, I was living in PA at that time.
Nic, I am so bloody jealous you got to see the Femmes recently.
You know, Nicole and I would be fucking DANGEROUS together.

I still have my t-shirt from seeing the Femmes at MSU my freshman year with Scary Heather. It was great, it was a very small crowd, which for those of us there made it all the more fun. When we returned to my dorm the snotty girls that lived around me kept making fun of us. They were such bitches, made the whole year hell. Anyway, I still have the shirt, maybe someday it will actually fit again.
