We document our lifelong love of music, live and recorded. We aren't musicians, we're just two chicks on the floor, reporting the audience experience, good or bad.

Colorado Bound
Comedy is around every corner! This morning on my way to work there was a moving truck towing a car on the expressway. The car had its windows shoe polished with the following message:
Colorado Bound
Up Yours Tennessee
There’s some really good stuff in the new August 2006 issue of Blender magazine, like the article “Stop, This is a Nightmare!” It describes various tantrums and/or mishaps of musicians on stage. There are some hilarious anecdotes including Scott Stapp’s drunken performance in Chicago that led to fans filing a lawsuit against him. My favorite, also in Chicago, took place at 2003’s Summer Sanitarium, where the audience yelled “Fred Sucks!” at Fred Durst. “Calling the set to an early end, Durst berated the crowd from the wings, boasting that limpbizkit was the greatest band in the world, until his microphone was taken from him”. I feel somewhat vindicated now that everyone is anti-Fred Durst. I always hated that band and the whole genre that spawned them.
They also have a little Q & A with Tommy Lee at the end. This was my favorite Q & A:
What would an ex-girlfriend say about you?
“He’s fun, he’s charming, he’s intense, he’s hyper, he’s passionate, he’s retarded”.
Self-aware? I think so. --J
