Hey all. (I'm back after a few months. Did you miss me? "Who? Huh?" they say
)
Well I sorta got an LB/FM present ... a New Years present anyway!
In the week leading up to New Years, my city's main casino had revival acts like Elvis, Beach Boys and the Big O. The New Years Eve act was... a Fleetwood Mac cover band!!
BUT, I had a shift at work (waiter). EVERYONE has to work New Years Eve at my work, or youre fired basically.
But, somehow, like the miracle of Christmas (and New Years!), I convinced my boss to let me go at 11:15, which meant I had time to tear downtown on my bicycle to catch 30 mins of the FM act.
I only caught Blue Letter, Second Hand News and Rhiannon, but each was done with a really loud and fresh fervour, just jamming with scorching distorted guitars. But the Lindsey guy looked more like Rick Vito! And the guy playing Mick, when he finally stood up from behind his drums, was really short!! The Chris and Stevie roles were down pat.. I just wish I had seen some Christine songs.
So, how's that for a Christmas/New Years present?! What a great start for the New Year! I couldnt believe my luck (plus $US20 of tips that night!!)
