I guess I have not even noticed that the 80s are over, apparently nor had most of the 200 "strong" crowd. I thought he put on a fine show. His voice is great and some of the old songs are brilliant. I did think the velvet underground/Lou Reed covers were a bit odd, considering how many great songs Ian has written himself.

Originally posted by kosmo: the whole thing about american idol is that there is perception that being able to sing LOUDLY with lots of "Emotion" is what passes for talent these days. at least in the pop music arena... or being able to jump around like trained monkey doing bland r 'n b songs.

We went to Polly's for ONE! What's up with a pint of flat and stale Guiness and a nasty watered-down pint of Bass for $14.40??? Last time in that shit hole I can tell you. If they're going to fuck you royally on the beer, the least they could do is not look at you like you're being a pain in the arse when trying to get a pint and therefore interrupting them from talking and laughing with the regulars. Then we walked down towards the Black Cat and stopped off at some bar just a block up 14th on a corner. Didn't realize it was a gay bar until one of the blokes at the bar handed us a pack of playing cards with pictures of naked men with stiff willies. We decided Chris looked the gayest of the three of us so we tried to find a nice boy for him. Loads of "Graces" in there too looking for their gay roommates I suppose. Anyway it's a good bar if you're not a homophobe. Went in the redroom looking at all those who enjoy being looked at while having a pint, then off upstairs once the support band had finished. Johnny did about an hour and got the hell out of there, can't say I blame him though. Not a very responsive crowd and a small crowd at that.
