New Order gave their first concert in Austria since 1984 yesterday. Friends were there and loved it.

Did you ever watch the documentary on them that came out a year ago.May have been called "Beyond the Lighted Stage," I think.

It it they talk to the dude from Kiss with the tongue. Rush used to tour with Kiss a lot early on. And the Kiss guy says that in the hotels when they were partying it up and womanizing, the Rush guys were in their rooms. They also all got married very early on in their careers.


:lmfao:


His name is Gene, and he's a pretty cool guy actually. Good New York Jewish boy. (well grew up there after born in Israel)
Yeah. Him. Just had a brain fart and couldn't remember the name.

Incidentally Rush's singer is also Jewish. Wonder if him and Gene went to High Holidays services together. :D

Yeah iirc at least one of his parents is a holocaust survivor. 

Isn't one of the tracks on grace under pressure, red sector A, about the camps ?


edit:

Yeah. His mother is a Holocaust Survivor. Neil wrote REd SEctor A partially from stories he heard from Geddy and his mom.

If one's a rock star, he can get plenty of sex and drugs without leaving his own hotel room.  :hmm:

I convinced a Mormon girl that Utah is part of the South.

She stated she didn't believe me until I challenged her to look at a map of the US, trace a line to the east and see what state Utah is on the same longitude with.

"Oh...it's Virginia. I guess we do live in the South"


Sometimes I make myself so damn proud.

a 4.1 earthquake hit northern Italy half an hour ago. it shook my house, woke us up (it's 4.30 am here) and seemingly canceled every sleep from my brain.
I hate quakes :glare:
