Many of the bands I wanted to see, I was able to see multiple times. This band, I am sorry to say, I only saw once. Sat at a 4 top at the Chicago theater with a big wig from the Chicago Dem party. We laughed all night long discussing all the twinkies in Chicago politics at the time. And, yes Barack Obama's name did come up.
So did Rahm, and "Big Jim" Thompson. He was surprised I knew about Thompson. Not that it was a secret, just that it was in the early 2000's. A close family friend was a personal body guard for Jim's wife. She regularly hit on him.
