I have never been embarrassed by any of my music choices--I have seen the Monkees (not Mike) 7 times and am very proud of it.
However, I went to a concert where I won tickets and it was embarrassing--it was Joe Walsh. I had seen Don Henley a couple of months before and he was wonderful, but even though I like the music, Walsh was drunk and it was embarrassing to me. The drunks in the audience (are they at every concert? I had a couple at one Springsteen show I went to) didn't mind, but my sister and I did.
Now I can't afford concerts--$45 for cheap seats? I don't think so!
