How old were you when you bought your first album and went to your first concert? And what were they? I'm sharing mine below and I'd love to hear yours! E

I wasn't really planning on watching much (or any) of the 2024 Democratic National Convention last week. I live in Chicago, so I had already been inundated with coverage, reminders, announcements on public transportation, street signs, and more in the weeks leading up to it.
