Now that I'm older, I realize blowing a fuse in the middle of a show is a sign of incompetence on the part of the road crew, not a measure of how "rad" a rock band is. //Walt // // ...didn't drink any wine that day, but probably ate some red meat... |

I don't remember much, other than tottering into the arena on these ridiculous platform shoes that were all the rage at the time. It's interesting that portions of the 70s fashion are back, like flares (I've even got some), and the girlies are wearing platforms again, but the boys aren't. And the high-waisted boy's flares don't seem to have made it back either, and of course the girlies are wearing low-waists. I haven't seen anyone in white suits yet, either.

Now that I'm older, I realize blowing a fuse in the middle of a show is a sign of incompetence on the part of the road crew, not a measure of how "rad" a rock band is. Probably some dodgey equipment there somewhere, or an overloaded circuit/series. Or maybe it was a cunning way to stop the show early! I saw a few shows in the late 70s, including Cheap Trick at an outdoor stadium, but in those days the sound levels were insane and sometimes it was hard to work out what hte song was through all the distortion. -- ant Don't try to email me!

My daughter said that if they cut it off to put it in a jar and she wants it. The really bad thing is no more red meat or high-heeled shoes. And you aren't taking your meds for your schizophrenia, either. Shame that they can't do surgery for that...... |

I'm back in heels! after losing the use of my feet and ankles in 2002, and thanks to some controversial orthotics (they roll), I'm spending obscene amounts of money on Italian shoes with actual high heels, and they feel great. I had osteo arthritis in the toes and toe joints in my 20s, and that's stilll there, but these orthotics have got everything firing again. Very happy! I can eat red meat, drink wine, and wear high heels. *So there you got, mate, find a decent podiatrist, and you'll be wanting to run again. |

Gilbert & Sullivan? Andrew Lloyd Webber? Why not do both! I have. On stage. Need to find some time to do another show. |
