I am besides myself with excitement--last year we got George Clinton for free, this year we get Tears For Fears...most excellent.

5. I was interested.
Until I clicked on your profile and saw you were talking about Buffalo. Nothing wrong with Buffalo, but that's too far to drive for TFF.

6. Love them. I wouldn't miss it...
I hear you get some great concerts in Buffalo. Wish I was so lucky.

One of my favorites:

9. Awaiting the full summer schedule, which should be coming out in a couple of weeks
We actually get a fair amount of awesome acts for free, so I'm hoping for a good one this year. So far the only really bummer was Neko Case getting rained out last year.

7. Well, they sure as hell couldn't play a pay concert.
:P

Actually, Tears for Fears was one of the very few 80s bands that I thought actually showed some musicianship and did some interesting stuff. I loved their first (and only?) album. Haven't listened to it in ages, so don't remember it all, but I quite liked it.
