Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Nah, they pick from a committee and then ask the artists if they're willing to perform.

I knew (was pretty sure) it was a rumor 'cause I know someone who worked with Bruce Springsteen at the time he performed.

LOL Can you imagine Springsteen paying to perform? He doesn't need any more fans. He's got enough to last him a lifetime - and indeed they will 'cause most of 'em are about his age. Springsteen ain't gonna give you money to perform, not even if you're the NFL!

By the way, Bruce is pretty down to earth. He's pretty much like you'd expect him to be.

I'm not sure what I would expect him to be. He never seemed like the wild and crazy party type.

He's not as big as he looks on stage. He's about my height, maybe a tiny bit shorter than I am.

Long before I had money to spare, if I went to a concert I'd always try for VIP tickets and/or tickets that included backstage access. So, I've met all sorts of artists briefly. But, there are others where I could name-drop (I've done some before) where I've had a bit more access to the artists. Even today, I aim for backstage VIP passes where available. I figure those are the best experiences.

It is a better experience when you get to meet the artist, even briefly.

I've never bought VIP backstage access but did get lucky a couple times and got to meet some folks
