Why My Parents Are Cooler Than I'll Ever Be
So my mother just dropped a bomb of a story on me today...
Apparently, in 1969, my mother and father played with a band called the "Mother Pucker Jug Band." They were both in college at Colorado State University, and there band was invited to open for a band at the arena at the college.
It turns out that band was The Rolling Stones.
OK, so there's two questions I have:
1) Why was I never told about this?!
2) Why the hell did the Rolling Stones have a jug band open for them?!?!?
Being a somewhat skeptical person by nature, I decided to do a little research. The Rolling Stones? In Fort Collins? Yeah right.
It turns out, it true! Wikipedia says it was the first stop on their 1969 tour. This website even shows a ticket stub:

My mother claims that the Stones weren't really all that
big in 1969, but clearly she's misinformed. The '69 tour was the one featured in the movie "Gimme Shelter."(Though I don't think the CSU show is shown in the film) She must have been drinking a bit too much of whatever was in the jug before her band decided to play it...
In any case, my parents are clearly much cooler than I ever gave them credit for.
