left or right, I would think that they could at least agree on music, but I guess not.
 
 anyway the Post lies (didn't that use to be a bumper sticker around town?) and the Rev. Sun yung Moon doesn't!

Even though it was a short set i thought she was great, i'd like to see her again by herself and not with that geek Jason Mraz.......She can go ahead and wear that short lil skirt again also.

Someone left it on the MARC train, so I read it.
 
 It was part of the packaging material in the box that my blow-up sex doll came in.
 
 It was a free weeks trial subscription.
 
 Our dog stole the neighbors copy.
 
 It came wrapped around the fish I bought at the seafood market.
 
 Okay, okay, okay!!! I admit I do read the Times.  :mad:  so what!!! news is news right? it can't be distorted, can it?

Culty McCult.  I guess O'Reilly factored you over to the right huh?

Wow!  Even I don't read the Washington Times.

say what you like about the times......
 
 I think the reviewer from the times wrote a better review than was found in the post. Its full of details, such as no encore, that are missing from the posts review. The absence of such details always makes me think the reviewer didnt go to the show or didnt stay till the end.

She was the middle act on a three act bill. Thus, technically she was one of the openers. Openers typically don't get an encore. Perhaps the Post reviewer saw no reason to comment on this, since it was not out of the norm. Perhaps the Times reviewer is not as familiar with rock show protocol and felt the need to comment on something that wasn't even relevant.

I'm gonna agree with both y'all.  Openers don't do encores and the Post should just stop doing live rock reviews altogether.  The NYTimes should also shut John Paralles (or whatever his name is) up.

The Fruit Bats and High Strung have both played encores as openers in the last couple of weeks.
