The "patients" in the prison I worked in must have thought we were nuts. And we were by the time we left there. Just thinking, in light of the early death of Amy Winehouse, was there a singer you loved who died too soon? One of mine is Jim Croce. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I have a Janis tee shirt hanging in my office space in the house. Also a John Lennon poster. Kind of decorated like a step back in time to the late 60's,early 70s in there. Harry Chapin and John Denver were two others I miss. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I was thinking one day of who I'd still like to see in concert that I haven't and unfortunately, most of them have already passed on. One of the newer artists I'd like to see is Adele. Just became familiar with her music. Has anyone gone to a concert like Woodstock and camped out for several days listening to music? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Biggest probably Springsteen at Wembley 1985, 10 days before Live Aid. Never camped out, but would still love to do Glastonbury. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Saw Dylan a few years ago and he's back here again this year. Woodstock was amazing. Beatles first appearance at Shea Stadium in NYC tops my list. Still have the ticket stub.
