<p>SBMom - I saw Bob Marley in 1978 - best concert I ever saw in my life (including Woodstock). He died on my birthday in 1981 - cried all day, affected me more deeply than either Lennon or Garcia’s passing.</p>

<p>Most memorable defining music during college was: 1) Working Man’s Dead - all year, 10,000 times, at St. John’s College - the DEFINITIVE post-seminar musical event 2) Burnin’ - got it the day it came out 3) The Blues - immersion Jr/Sr year & grad school.</p>

<p>World music - much! Youssou N’Dour - my personal favorite the past few years.</p>

<p>Spent way too much time brooding over a Princeton guy in 1975 listening to “Wishing You Were Here” by the Beach Boys…what a waste of time!</p>

<p>Iderochi, I thought it was the Beach Boys but maybe I"m wrong…sure sounded like Chicago!</p>

<p>No it was Chicago 7th album I believe
I only had lV myself, I had asked my grandma for either Chicago lV or Santana Abraxas cause I knew I better have an alternate), even though I really wanted the Santana once she saw all those brown people she went for the Chicago .
I think I was 11.</p>

<p>Outstanding memory, Driver! From the music review website I use:</p>

<p>Song Review by Ed Hogan
Chicago lead singer Peter Cetera wrote “Wishing You Were Here.” Producer James William Guercio knew that Cetera was a fan of the Beach Boys and was able to get the legendary group to do background vocals on the track. “Wishing You Were Here” went to number 11 pop and number one adult contemporary in late 1974. It was listed on their platinum Chicago VII album, which made it to number one pop. The single’s success promoted Chicago and the Beach Boys to play some dates together.</p>

<p>If only it were as easy to remember where I put my car keys and reading glasses.</p>
