I went to two DJ Bobo concerts and don't regret it. EuroDance is underrated!

Pansy Division
I saw them open up for Green Day at Bogart's in Cincinnati. The fun part was I didn't realize until half way through their set why they were called Pansy Division. I was in the front row and noticed an awful lot of effeminate guys up there. The guitar player who was in front of me had on a t-shirt that appeared to have a horse head on the front. All of a sudden in dawned on me that that was no horse head, it was a giant penis. I started listening to the lyrics and was a bit shocked. They were pretty good, but not a group I would sing along to. Like my bumper sticker says, "I'm Straight, But Not Narrow!"
