What's the matter with those bands? Don't they know about Summerfest?
ReplyDeleteDid you catch the program on PBS last night about S-Fest? Interesting, especially the bits about George Carlin's arrest and the Humble Pie riot.

Love – Bummer in the Summer
Kool & The Gang – Summer Madness
Bad Manners – Blue Summer
Enuff Z’ Nuff – Hot Little Summer Girl
I saw INXS at Summerfest on that tour. They were really good. But the more memorable group was Steel Pulse, who were blisteringly loud for a reggae group.
ReplyDeleteI like Less Than Jake, I'll bet they are fun live.
Hey! we were at that INXS show too! I like Steel Pulse.
ReplyDeleteWe saw INXS on their first American tour- they opened for Adam Ant in Madison.
received this from ZORG:
ReplyDelete"ZORG will remain in hibernation until July 5th. Then, and only then, there will be a full blown fury of biblical proportions that only a hellbeast can unleash.
Old testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
see, here's the dealio, Z. The rest of us will have 5 or 6 days head start on you. Hell, You're gonna miss BOC! So we're gonna be building our Summerfest points...
You ever join a fantasy game after the others have been playing a while? Every one else has up-armored and scored some exotic weaponry, and they are up for fighting the likes of creatures that are able to dice you and snort you like low grade snuff.
So that's where you'll be. You'll be getting dropped into the crowds that already have Summerfest Feet, and a serious Wave will swamp you while the rest of the crowd is barely disturbed.
AND THEN....and then. The 8th comes. It's the last day! you may hit it- hard- but it's the last day. everyone will be winding down a bit; Monday will roll around and you won't be sated. You'll be left with a raging FestWood, and no way to relieve it.
But Summerfest will be gone. For another year.
Sad. I Feel for You, pathetic heck-beast.
