My Greatest RegretsWhen I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.
I was too scared of the French girls to go.
What do you regret not doing?

Pink FloydI had the opportunity to see them in Syracuse NY when they were touring for "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". Tickets from up front were $80. Since I am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan and had never had the opportunity to see them, I was jumping up and down.
Then the Bagwitch from Hell told me that there was no way in hell I was going to spend that much money for a fucking concert ticket, that we had bills to pay and all that shit. I should have divorced her on the spot... anyway, so I didn't go. Regretted it ever since...
...until David Gilmour anounced that he was touring this past spring, and would have Rick Wright with him. I managed to get one of the last tickets to see him in LA, and booked a flight to go out there that night and home the following morning. Overall the ticket and the plane cost me about $500, plus shirts for all three of my kids, my girlfriend and me.
Worth every fucking cent. Especially when the Bagwitch heard about it, and fumed that I was spending money on myself like that. The sour expression on her face made up for all those years of waiting.
Well, that and getting to see David Gilmour perform "Echoes" live in person. That was an almost spiritual experience in itself.
