It was "what instrument are you going to play?" But it was a little punk band from DC called Dag Nasty that made me want to play rock music. I was in 7th grade and it floored me. All of a sudden, songs about fast cars seemed really stupid. VENUE OR EVENT YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF PLAYING: Red Rocks in Colorado.
