My car is holding up surprisingly well as is Chopin's Nocturne #20 in C Sharp

What the fuck are you on about? Surprisingly well? The Bunnymen's first four albums had nothing to do with the 80's and are just as exciting today as they were back then.

Suprisingly well. What a fucking moron.

What the fuck mood are you in? Did a seagull shit on your 'feature window'?

What did we agree on about Shite Club? How soon you forget.

Very sorry BF.

It's not me you should be apologizing to. That window has done nothing to warrant this type of abuse and I for one am shocked and appalled at your treatment of it.

No wonder Morrissey left after 6 minutes.

Maybe if you painted the trim a different color . . . .

From a reputable source, Mac did have a back problem Sunday night. The breaks in between the sets were normal time and they did make up for missing the last few songs with 2 others. All love should not be lost ....

P.S. The band was amazing in L.A. Heard some of the best guitar bits ever at that show.

Actually, they took a lot longer to play 6 fewer songs, what with the extra-lengthy breaks and the walkout, but why quibble? It's water under the bridge now. And there were bright spots ... A Promise, for instance ... fantastic! Could've done without the couple making out in front of me, tho ... If you're gonna do that, why not just put the records on at home, open the drapes and give the neighbors a free show?

And I'm not giving up on the band just because of one crappy concert experience. Every band has an off day, and unfortunately, this happened to be one of them. Still, it was quite a letdown after L.A. And I still kick myself for going. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Which Morrissey show was that? I was at a show in 93 at the Limelight in NYC and it was shut down in less than 20 minutes by the fire dept because the place was sold out beyond capacity.

It was the Liverpool Echo Arena show a couple of years ago when a couple of water droplets almost drowned him and he fucked off after a song and a half.

(By the way, I only bring up the 'Did I tell you about the Morrissey show' on here as most of the regulars are bored shitless by the tale by now, plus the added bonus that it pisses off Black Francis when anyone disparages his beloved Mancunian Moaner.)

well perhaps they were just 'in the zone' and had to go with it. Because sometimes, you just got to do that, and halting proceedings to point out that the counter melody of the guitar at this bit of one of your favourite songs on one of your favourite albums - no, THE favourite - is just so awesome, can be a bit of a mood killer, zone-wise. Or perhaps it was, you know the third date where, according to rachel from friends, you wear your third date sweater and, well, its fairly obvious if you haven't had any for a while. Or maybe it was just that bit too early in the relationship to introduce the 'lets go to my place and make out with the curtains open whilst listening to my favourite vinyl' fetish, but the moment was there and had to be grabbed. Its a sign of encroaching old gitdom when a fit young wench sticks her tongue in your ear you say, 'steady on love, I'm listening to this', or she grabs hold of your head with the palms of her hands, looks you in the eye and then attaches her face to your and starts licking your tonsils all you can think of is, 'oh thats nice, when i wanted to do this in the middle of eastenders last night you weren't interested but soon as its my turn..... , wait a mo, sarge's playing the dewdrop on this' And lets face it, this band will be around, hawking their wares, in another 12 momnths but that girl might not be. And remember, some people just go to gigs to have a good time.

Another review. The comment says Ian's back hurt. Po' thing....

Too bad he didn't seek out Dr. Drew while in L.A.
