(You cynic)
;-)
I'm only a cynic because I've been in major band situations where this kind of stuff is discussed. Audience behaviour is quite predictable, and this kind of stuff is not done in exploitation imo, but as part of putting on a more exciting show for the fans - like pyro.
And I am in total admiration for a guy who can put that much energy into a 3 hour show and look like he's enjoying it, at pensionable age. I'd be hard pressed to carry a plectrum for 100 yards.
BTW The best sources of information about a band are the roadies. They know everything. You can't be me, I'm taken
Er, isn't he?
Just like Tony Soprano. The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
All I know about Bruce is if I hear "Born in the USA" one more time I'm going to hurl.
AFAIK.
(& I don't know much about Pop Music)
It's a mis-understood song, the main lyrics expose the jingoistic seeming chorus as being sarcastic (ironic ?), but sadly all people hear is the apparent triumphalism. So it gets a good response in the US and probably can get a mixed one elsewhere. keep to the Fen Causeway
It is time for me to plan my holidays! Ad astra per aspera
And then there's the headache of dealing with a million people trying to get home on the Metro. L'Enfant Plaza, where I'd be getting on in the District, is pretty busy during off-peak hours, mobbed during peak hours, and Hell on Earth when any kind of event is going on. It took half an hour to get a train -- and when I got one, I was pinned into about six inches of space by a bazillion freaks in Friar Tuck outfits -- when the idiot Pope put on his little show at the stadium last year, and the fireworks are probably more popular than the Pope.
So I'm thinking teevee is the way to go. Normally I go up to Iwo Jima, which has a really great view, with my aunt and uncle, but they're not around this year. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
to commemorate the US Marine Corp during World War II.
My ultimate goal is the American Beer Festival being held at the White Horse in Parsons Green aka Sloaney Pony. Those who were at the London meet a couple of years back will be familiar having been dragged there by yours truly.
They have Stone Ales on draught !!! Mugga Booga bluggle. keep to the Fen Causeway
Even the Dogfish. C'mon, the 75-minute? The 90-minute is the only one worth the powder to blow to Hell. They do make a wicked-good brown/IPA mix, but apparently it isn't being served. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
'Sides it's only a warm up for the Great British Beer Fest where US beers will be consumed in abundance. keep to the Fen Causeway
I am now officially on holiday - except for my duties as Social Secretary, station shuttle service, barman, and brunchmaker, to my daughters You can't be me, I'm taken
However, please note, I am not saying that the US make lousy beers that are strong. Their beers are good, but imo, they are stronger than they need to be to encourage me to drink a lot of them.
I suspect that this is because, until recently, I am fairly sure they were prohibited from saying what the strength of the beer was and so, given that they don't have beer duty (ie a tax related directly to strength) so there was nothing to be gained by making a flavoursome beer that was weak. keep to the Fen Causeway
I almost never go there unless i'm right on top of it cos the prices can be steep, there's a fab Timmie Taylors pub just over the bridge in Putney where I much prefer to go. keep to the Fen Causeway
