In 1980 a Nelson family friend, and manager of Wolf & Rissmiller's Country Club offered a “comped,” “safe” balcony seat for any show John cared to see at the venue. His parents agreed. The Los Angeles band, X, was young Nelson’s first pick, and soon after, Oingo Boingo, then 45 Grave.
It all went downhill from there, but that's for another website.
