So this is something that I was thinking about when I was in Pittsburgh, and after some mild deliberation amongst my family, I’ve decided to open up the question to you all:
I wants it.
If you could see any fictional band in concert, who would it be and why?
The Hypothetical Perfect Concert was occasionally a topic for discussion in my Intro to Poetry Writing class, where you pick any musician, dead or alive, and create your Perfect Concert, complete with opening acts and the headliner.
But you all know how I feel about reality! So! Fictional bands. Go.
On my short list of opening act considerations:
The main act is a clear choice, in my opinion. Check it!
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Obvs.
So what say you? Check out this handy Wikipedia list if you’re drawing a blank and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Clearly, Zack Morris’s “Zack Attack” is the only acceptable answer.

Didn’t even have to refer to Wikipedia to come up with Eddie and the Cruisers. Rob’s friend Kevin offered up The Wonders, from the movie “That Thing You Do” and Jessie and the Rippers from “Full House. All three are excellent selections!

I CAN’T BELIEVE JOEL BEAT ME TO ZACK ATTACK. I WAS JUST GOING TO PUT THAT. Yeah, and forgetting about the Dingos?? Poor form, Rachel. Also, I must mention “Jesse and the Rippers.” Oh yeah.
BUT my top pick might have to be Downtown Sasquatch. God I loved Degrassi. God, I STILL love Craig. Even though he got Manny pregnant. And you should love DS for Jimmy. JIMMY, Rachel.
PS. I don’t believe 2gether can qualify as “fake.” They were real. Very real. Real enough to DIE OF CANCER! *cries!*

Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes! That’s the name!
Also, can’t forget “You-Know-Who” and his band from Preacher.
Cylon and Garfunkel or Beck & Bender from “Futurama.”
The Rutles
And the nerdiest possible choice … Vic Fontaine.
