I'm amazed that there hasn't been more discussion about this show on the board. Do most of the regulars not attend Blowoff from time to time, or is there no interest in the issue of gay marriage, or what? I'll be there, in the VIP section to boot, and I'm straight, I just think that if two men or women want to marry, it's their own business, who is the gov't to tell them different. Plus, I get to see Bob Mould perform, which is always a pleasure. Any thoughts?
-
I'll be right there with ya in VIP, God bless payday. I want to say hello to Henry Rollins. Bob Mould, what more can be said? He's phenomenal. Rich Morel's band is great, too. Blowoff is so much fun...there's a pic of me from MW this week from the last Blowoff (I'll let you guess which one I am): http://www.metroweekly.com/scene/?k=470 (http://www.metroweekly.com/scene/?k=470)
Without a doubt this is an important issue and it's for a good cause. Thanks for the post and for emphasizing that even though it's a gay marriage thing, it's not just another gay show. It's cool to have everyone stand up for the rights of others, and given the current political climate it just saddens and angers me that people are so against letting others be treated on equal basis. More than anything, I just think it will be a fun evening for a good cause. It's not a cheap ticket, but it's a benefit after all. I hope that people will consider going to this one.

too expensive plus i don't like any of the acts
I support gay marriage, but I suspect those pushing that agenda have deeper financial pockets than I do.

That is you on the right, right?
I dont understand why anyone would want to get married.
-
nice to see Mankie sent you his personal pic before leaving.

I'd love to see the show but more to support the cause than anything. I'm straight but can't understand how people can be so narrow-minded as to care whether or not gay people want to suffer in married hell like the rest of us ;) I guess people just want to hate somebody....
-
Ha! SO not me. I don't even think either of them are cute.
-
Personally, I think marriage kind of sucks too, but what's not right for me might be right for someone else. They should have the freedom to decide and choose that for themselves.
-
I can easily understand why people can be against gay marriage, but I don't agree with them.

I know, I was just kidding. Nor do I.
You prefer deported women having to prostitute themselves to nazi's.

How? I really couldn't care less what other people do if it has no negative effect on me.

I wish more people would think the way you do. As long as people aren't doing anything to interfere on your life and well-being, I just don't see the problem.

Actually, there was discussion... (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=007985)

I mean I can easily understand that for some people, it's a traditional value that marriage is some sort of sacred union of a man and a woman. Not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
I don't agree with that, but I'm saying I can understand that that's how people feel. It's certainly a notion that's been ingrained in our society for...all of history?

So if conservatives moved to ban abortion, you would be ok with that?
As a gay man, I imagine such a move would not at all interfere with your life and well-being.

So just because Bunnyman is a whoopsie it means he has no women friends, relations, acquaintances.
Please stay with your own kind, and I'll stay with mine?
-
what's a "whoopsie"?
-
BY the same token gay marriage does affect those that are opposed to it in the same indirect way that Bunny would be affected by an abortion ban.

But how does gay marriage negatively affect anyone?
-
I think if parents are teaching a value system to their children that marriage is between a man and a woman, and the law goes directly against said value system, it undermines the parent and what they are teaching their child.

Do parents actively teach that?
I must have skipped that conversation.
My dad did tell me on the phone today that he had just seen his first Prince Albert. I am so proud of him.

Well there are quite a few devout Catholics in the world. The last time I checked, there were also a few other religions that taught the same thing in regard to marriage.

Not that there's anything wrong with it...

I think my parents had just been to a nudist beach. Why they felt the need to tel me.... My dad was quite taken aback by the variety of female topiaries he saw.

What is a "topiary"?

Nah, that was the cold water.

Rhett, the issue here is FREEDOM to do what you want to do. What a woman does is not my business, but she has that right. The issue is not holy matrimony in a religious way either. It is simply the ability to have a union that is like anyone else's most gay people probably don't care about the term marriage anyway. Civil union will do just fine. Just because the abortion thing is something that I will never have to deal with doesn't mean that I don't care about a woman's right to choose. If it doesn't affect me personally, it doesn't mean that I don't care. I repeat...it's about freedom.
-
I would go but I'm going to be out of town....Have fun, and live it up VIP-style!!
-
The issue for you (and me) is freedom, That is what you value. Other people have a differing set of values at to what and how they believe society should be. I'm just saying.

Does anyone know when the Wedrock show is supposed to actually start?
Also, will VIPs actually have access to stools on the "exclusive balcony"?
-
I am pretty sure doors are at 7:30, would imagine it will start by 8-ish. Not sure about the setup, but I would also imagine there will be some stools upstairs too in the VIP area.
-
The 9:30 site has doors opening at 7, but I agree that it will probably start pretty quickly given the number of performers they have to get on and off. Thanks for responding.
-
According to Mould's blog: Doors at 7:00. Show starts at 8:00.

Hey, great thread. Let's see: Our White House is presently "owned" by an administration/political party which spends so much time, energy, funding limiting access to birthcontrol (and withholding dues to the United Nations supporting such in other countries...); campaigning against a woman's right to abortion when birthcontrol fails ; proposing a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage; and destroying stem cell research programs. Then jump up and down like squealing babies when anyone proposes any form of gun control - thus removing one of THIER RIGHTS?
What's REALLY going on? Hmmmmmmm. Have a great time tonight. I'll buy the first few bottles of Champagne for the Bunnyman's wedding reception!! (I also think straight chicks should refuse to have sex with any raging Repubican guy who supports the above. We'll call it "The Great Republican Penis boycott " (Can I use the "P" word on this board...?) See you angry homophobic/mysoginists at the polls, suckers.

I don't think you should use the word "great" with the words "republican penis" in the same phrase like that...

See how brainwashed I am? Make that "The tiny Republican Penis boycott."

I dunno, Vincent Gallo was pretty well hung in the Brown Bunny, and he's a Republican.

How friggin' awesome was it to see Bob Mould to play with a full band again? Last time I saw that was on his last tour with a band in 1998. This was such an amazing surprise. Avenue D were totally crazy, and not quite as good as Peaches. But they clearly were going down that same path. The highlight for me was the very end with Bob wailing away on "Makes No Sense At All". That was just SO rockin'. And talking to Henry Rollins (who is going to move back to the DC area) was pretty awesome as well. What a fun night.
-
Fun show. Who knew Sandra Bernhard could rock? Henry was a great host, even though he forgot Rich Morel's name. oops. Avenue D was 2 women rappers dressed in slutty wedding garb a la Madonna ("gown" doesn't quite capture what they were wearing). They sounded like a cross between Salt-n-Pepa and Bikini Kill. Even Rhett would have liked Purty Mouth, with their covers of "Jackson" and "Two Story House". Mitchell played a Neutral Milk Hotel song, but I'm not sure of the title.
Bob, of course, had the most rocking set of the night. Unfortunately, it was also probably the shortest. 3 songs in maybe 10 minutes. "Makes No Sense At All" was worth the price of admission though.
Lots o' fun.
