Bianca and I went to this show! Just the two of us. I was sick.
I was guzzling cough syrup since I had the dreaded cough I get when
I am finishing my annual bout of pneumonia! So my drink of choice,
Robitussin! We even caught the park n' ride. It was fun. People were
partying on the bus and ready for an amazing show. Bianca and I had
seen Morrissey before and this was a day after Bianca's birthday and
seemed like a fun way to get out and about!!
No Smiths songs, loads of flowers thrown on the stage and people trying
to get on stage to hug him. I remember it being a good show.

During this time and especially living in L.A. there were certain artists you went to see.
KROQ was the radio station that fueled what we listened to. They loved The Smiths, Morrissey, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode and The Cure among others. When these artists were coming to town KROQ went crazy with interviews, promotions and playing these artists songs all the time. They even made special KROQ bumper stickers to hand out after the shows. So when this show went on sale and sold 18,000 tickets in 20 some minutes it was an amazing thing. You wanted to be part of it, you had to be there. And well, I am a sucker for Frank Lloyd Wright, I love the Hollywood Bowl!
