Oh you're just pissed off because you're not music savvy as me and never heard of The Undertones. ;)

4 way Street!!!! :eek: Really?

I make no apologies for my comment about them, now I know it's not some tribute band….I've heard quite a few of their songs on XM and they're all very good.

My sympathies. Be sure to compliment the wealthy elite on their fine sport coats, khakis and boat shoes.

There will be more red worn that evening than at Old Trafford on any given Saturday.

The ladies will be wearing their body-hugging red Ferrari tops to show off their new boob-job, with platinum prancing horse earings, and the men will have their red Ferrari pit-crew polo shirts with collars turned up no doubt…with their Girard-Perregaux Ferrari F1, special edition watch to make it all come together. (markie would fit right in)

It will be fun…so much fun.

Mankie, I am envious……

I bet you have a great time. So what time is qualifying local time on Friday? And race on Saturday?

Thanks Mankie, looks like it will be a struggle for mme to get to see the undertones. I guess if I hop in a cab at the end of the last lap….. I might just do that.

Bigger Lovers are the openers for a 3-band set? Hmmmm, that's an important bit of info. Thanks, Rhett. But the ottobar show is cancelled. All this back and forth…..

Markie, probably good you can't make it to Undertones, as I'll probably be there!

Asking which ones are twins?

All of the above, AND wearing my Barry shirt.

You know, I think this is all really masking a fondness for me that is scaring you…..

well I went and I thought The Undertones were great - most fun I've had at a gig in ages - never having seen the original incarnation live I have nothing to compare it to but they all looked like they were having a blast up there

funny crowd, aging punks, young wanna be punks and everyone in between - there was a kid with this big studded leather jacket on and every time someone bumped into him in the pit you could see the confusion on his face "hey, he just bumped into me and I'm a punk godammit - should I deck him?"

hhhmmmm, I missed both shows on Saturday. I was all tuckered out and just didn't have the drive to motivate myself. Glad the Undertones was fun, Brennser…

Saw Metropolitan and the Rosebuds last night; really liked the Rosebuds. And the Warehouse is a cool space. No smoking!! (Thank god I quite last summer…)

The undertones were fun. I scoff at reunion shows, but still keep going to see them. It is even more derisable when the band is lacking their frontman. I mean would you really want to see the doors without Jim?

But if you squinted your eyes, had an extra pint, were open to having a good time. Then there was certainly plenty of enjoyment to be had.

They played two of my favourite songs, teenage kicks and my perfect cousin, and it was a treat to hear them live. Something I thought I would never do.

And Brennser cannot finish his pints.

I am quite certain I wouldn't want to see the Doors WITH Jim.

Lets see,

Yep Brennser left at least half a pint behind, after cajoling me to have one last drink. We were some of the last people in the bar though….


And I thought all of you would have love to see Jim get his meaty manhood out on stage? Why are Americans so down on the doors?

Hey, you forgot that Markie's the board member you don't want to go to a show with – all that heckling and head bobbing and superior carriage…

Plus, now we know he tattles.

And wasn't he just having mucous problems? <img src="http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/sneeze2.gif" alt=" - " />

Next thing you know, you'll say you're listening to a Merle Haggard cd, as I am now.
