For instance, I've seen Jonathan Richman in London and San Francisco. That's gotta be what, 5000 miles?

I've seen Radiohead in London and Sydney, which is 10562 miles, apparently. At least according to some site I just checked. I think that's the longest distance.

If you average the distances listed by all posters, how long would it take you to get from point A to point B, traveling at 55 mph?

I'm going to wait for the explanation to that question on Car Talk.

There must be a dozen venues around the country that I've seen The Damned play at more than once; I also must have seen them at least half a dozen times each at The Brixton Academy, The Lyceum and Hammersmith Palais; I've also seen Killing Joke at The Lyceum a similar number of times and I saw them play Hammersmith Palais on two consecutive nights.

If PJ Harvey hadn't had a sore throat six years ago, I'd be able to say I've seen her in both Chicago and Manchester. But no.
