Being a curmudgeonly, almost 71-year old, my anti-bucket list is very long. A few items on that list:
Get a tattoo. My dad got one when he was in the Army, 1943-45. I think he got it in Hawaii. It was my mom’s name and he had it done on his shoulder. No thanks.
Get a piercing
Attend any kind of live non-classical music concert or event, including small clubs, etc.
Attend a professional or college (or any level) sporting event. At one time I was a serious Dodgers fan and attended dozens of games through the years. But I gave up on major league baseball years ago given all the ridiculous changes. And major league games are a circus with the absurdly loud and crappy rock music played between innings, seriously unruly fan behavior, etc. A side note: the two most notable Dodgers games I attended: August 14, 1965, Sandy Koufax pitching 10 innings of shutout ball against the Pirates and he himself scoring the winning run in the bottom of the tenth on a line drive hit by Jim Gilliam and dropped by Roberto Clemente; October 15, 1988, first game of the 1988 World Series (Gibson home run).
Any event with teeming masses of people…being in Times Square on New Year’s Eve is a good nominee for the tenth ring of Hell.
Bungee jumping
Skydiving
See a Regietheater opera or play or anything
