2001-09-09 - 4:08 a.m. - more random sketches (the fucker entry)
some sketches. completely true.--at the end of saturday looks good to me's set they did the thing where members leave the stage one at a time while the rest of the band plays. as usual fred left first and handed three tambourines to audience members. he handed me the first one and i felt kind of special. that probably sounds ridiculous. maybe it wasn't that i felt special but that the moment felt special. i wrote a piece about lovesick for the first zine we put out and i wrote about how the room felt like a collective, not a band and an audience but a group of people all feeling the same things. and in a way the distribution of tambourines to play along with the band for 3 minutes was a physical manifestation of that. and it was just beautiful to be a part of something so amazing if just for a brief moment.
--after the von bondies played this club girl and her hilfiger boyfriend asked us the name of the band that just played. i told them and they talked about how amazing the band was. i kinda freaked out of suprise and then joy. rock and roll is coming back with avengance. club girls, the boy band candyland girls are finally starting to miss rock and roll and they love it hard and dirty and straight out of the detroit garage. rocks on its way back. and we have front row seats for the revolution.
--driving in detroit sucks. i always get lost.
--this fuckin psycho guy was at big boy when we got there. i met him last may and i think i actually wrote about him in my diary. this guy is a tool. hes like 45 years old and aalways talks about people's auras and spirits and religion. okay, these can all be valid things but this mother fucker is so fucking full of bullshit. if this guy were shot in the head shit would splatter on the wall. he's fucking ridiculous. and i was telling my good friend kristin about the show tonight and he said the best show he ever saw was "The Meat Puppets" in detroit. he proceeded to call it old punk. me, hating this guy, said "that's not old punk, The Clash is old punk." and this fucker, being the fucker that he is said "This was 1985, thats old fuckin punk" and i said "actually when the clash was making music in 1976, thats old punk...and actually some argue that punk goes back even further to bands like the MC5 in the late sixties, now that is really old punk" and he fuckin knew he was wrong. talkin shit about shit that he didn't know about. what a fucker.
--okay so now that i have used the word 'fucker' more than i ever used the word 'fucker' before i think ill go to bed. goodnight all and if yr reading this for the first time i normally don't say fucker so much.
xoxo
