I had just recently determined I would do this 2 year thing and I was directed and chosen to go to Paris France.  As we got to know the group of 11 or so of us, and we were going through the music interests we were leaving behind &#8211; I came to realize I was a bit unique.  My list included some of the follow more obscure to many in the group but a there was one guy &#8211; JH and we were re-united briefly in St George at a 70.3 Ironman event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDead Can Dance\n\n\n\nSocial Distortion\n\n\n\nDanzig\n\n\n\nJane&#8217;s Addiction\n\n\n\nSmashing Pumpkins\n\n\n\nOingo Boingo\n\n\n\nKMFDM\n\n\n\nThe Cure\n\n\n\nLeonard Cohen\n\n\n\nNealYoung\n\n\n\nDepeche Mode\n\n\n\nMidnight Oil\n\n\n\nPeter Murphy and The Bauhaus\n\n\n\n10000 Maniacs\n\n\n\nR.E.M\n\n\n\nA litany of Punk Rock bands\n\n\n\nToad The Wet Sprocket\n\n\n\nCrash Test Dummies\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We were all trying to figure out our paths.
