My first concert
Donny and Marie Osmond at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand. It was 1978, I think? So I was 7. My mom took me. That’s like triple cornball points, right?
I remember being disappointed that we were far back enough that I couldn’t tell whether Donny was wearing purple socks.
(For years I hid this fact, pretending instead that the second concert I ever went to — Prince on his Purple Rain tour in 1984 — was my first. But the truth will out! DONNY AND MARIE, PEOPLE.)
