Show Notes: The Skyway: "And in my life, the ultimate example of such a transformation occurred a few months ago, on Saturday, November 19, 1994, when I saw Green Day play at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota. I had a backstage pass. If you didn't already know (as I didn't, then) the sound backstage sucks. Duh, the speakers are pointing out. And the view is kind of shitty, too - from the side and sort of behind the performers. It's the type of vantage point concert promoters usually call 'Limited View,' and they usually charge less for those areas, which are often behind a pillar. But if you've got a backstage pass, there ain't a soul in the who can tell you that it's anything but a privilege akin to knighthood. More than once the conversation backstage turned speculative: what - we wondered, we pondered - what do you think the spry, young moshing girls would pledge in trade for our passes? ...Seeing Bob [Stinson] at the Green Day show was about the fifth time I'd seen him in the past month. It seemed that everywhere I went, Bob went, too."
