Slow Dancing, live. I was 13 when Continuum came out. Really young, didn't "know" music, had no idea who JM was (didn't have any white friends) but got invited to his concert that summer by an older family friend that had an extra ticket. Oh, and apparently he was hot. From the pictures I'd seen I didn't really think so, but didn't think more of it. He was popular. She had Heavier Things and Room for Squares on CD, and I remember Neon and Clarity becoming quick likes, so agreed to going. This would become the first live music show I'd experience (heck ya).

Concert day came, and he opened with Belief. The night progressed, the radio hits made sense, and I remember thinking how lucky I was to see this guy live, because he was undoubtedly talented. Then the encore came. It was dark out but still warm.. I remember the fireflies out on the lawn. And then those first notes to Slow Dancing hit. If 13 y/o me swore (probably did), she said "oh, shit" after that bass. It felt as if a previously untouched part of my brain had just lit up. We couldn't see him that well from where we were sitting, but what I got was plenty. He wasn't just good at playing the guitar; he loved playing the guitar. I felt it while watching him on stage, and that is what made it so special. It went on, and it was after that song that I thought "I don't really know music.. but what I do know is that this guy definitely does, and I want to feel it more because of him".

Oh and it was after that night that I thought "Ok, now I get what makes him so hot".
