Guided by Voices

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Personally, I found it kind of pathetic that a 45 year old man feels the need to act like a 21 year old party animal on stage, and use stage banter such as saying "Fuck You" to him mom. Grow up, loser.
 
    The lyrics were inaudible to the casual fan, and his singing voice is pretty average, but the music was good.

Doesn't that describe many bands...past and present.

This from someone who both spit on a mime and told an 8 year old to fuck off?

I thought it was great -- that music is just so good and those songs are just so catchy.  But you're right about the antics.  On the one hand, it's all part of the Pollard persona and the audience just eats it up, but as we were laughing and cheering him on for opening another beer, I did have the thought, "we're cheering and I'll bet this guy is dead by 50."  Of course, folks have probably been saying that to him/about him for years.
 
 They were at a HFS tent after their set signing stuff -- but it was in the midst of the downpour, so I missed it (incorrectly assuming they'd blow it off with all that rain).  Did anyone go by and talk to the band??
 
 By the way, that drummer kicks ass.

He used to be in Shudder to Think but I am not sure if that is his only connection to DC or not.

Well that's my way of saying I enjoyed myself but aint gonna run out and buy the back catalog.

hahahaha
 
    For the record, I never said "fuck you" to an 8 year old, though I think saying "fuck you" to ones mother is much more of a sin than saying "fuck you" to a strangers 8 year old.
 
    And I spit on the mime because he wouldn't get his paws off of my wife, even after being asked to stop.
 
    And I'm only 36, so the legendary Bob has 9 years of maturity on me.

yeah...I spied two casual obsevers, a young latina and a young black woman who were tickled at the lyrics "Black girl, I only wanna get you high..." so, maybe not completely inaudible, but unintelligible, or perhaps interpretable as one would like to interpret

 Agreed.

haha
 
 "Black girl I only wanna get you high"
 
 real lyric is
 
 Hey Hey Glad Girls, Only want to get you high
 
 Funny because this song is what was suppose to hit the airwaves for GBV well according to TVT.
 
 
 Oh and you will be seeing me at the magnet show. Sound was great up by the stage.

[markie]

Funny I mis-heard it too.....
 
 I was singing along.....
 
 "hey hey, bad girls, I only wanna get you high"
 
 I think mine is a better chorus than the real one. Oh well.

What is a glad girl anyway?  I'm thinking it's some hipster or alkie terminology I just don't know....
