Things That Amuse You

It is your duty to share the big brown beaver with them.

One of my employees had never heard of Primus, who is coming to our local amphitheater this week.

Does Primus really suck? Really?

I have a bicycle listed for sale on FB Marketplace and Craigslist, with all pertinent info and photos. I've received 3 FB messages on the bike asking what size it is -- though the size is listed in the first sentence of my ad.

Got an email today Jane’s Addiction is coming to the venue 2 miles away in October. Great little venue, haven’t seen them in about 30 years live. So asked my coworkers if it’s cool to change the music to them.

They said who?
Not one of them have ever heard of Jane’s Addiction. I went to another department and struck out again.
I smirked. Amusing.

Damn dude, they're coming to town with Love and Rockets too. That's gonna be a jamming show. Anyone going?

I never saw Jane’s, but I did see Porno for Pyros at the music festival Perry Farrell put on at Mosport, which also featured Love and Rockets.

I could go and relive my high school glory days… or not, and not ruin my good memories.

I saw Love and Rockets last year at Cruel World. They sound great. If you're a fan, go -- you won't be disappointed.

I've seen mixed reviews on Jane's Addiction on the current reunion tour, particularly regarding Perry's performance. YMMV.

Would be killer show.
Tickets running about $260 each for middle of the venue seats. The kicker is the $87 in fees per ticket.
Fuck Ticketmaster. They’ve priced me out.
Have seen both but I just can’t make the decision that this is affordable. It is not for this guy.

Holy crap.

I’ll have to hold out until they’re desperate enough to come to Reno for, like, $50 tickets.

I always used to chuckle when an ad goes "74 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop - READ! - mini humbuckers, original Klusons, headstock repair..."

But my recent FleaBay sales have shown that a large cohort of people seem to be incapable of reading a single sentence to the end.

[Ted Striker]

Last time I saw Jane's Addiction it was like $15. Those prices are insane.

[El Chupacabra]

They're playing in Reno in Oct.

They're playing in Reno in Oct.

For $50?

I feel like Foghat or Uncle Cracker may be more in my price range right now.

Edit: cheapest tickets look to be $187. Too rich for my blood.

[The AD]

I can't believe anyone would pay to hear Perry Farrell "sing."

[as you can tell I'm not a fan ]

Just turned on some Porno for Pyros to spite you.

Breaking news--shocked scientists have discovered that musical favorites strongly correlate with the age cohort of their fans.

I'm in the age demographic that should like Jane's Addiction, I just could never tolerate Farrell's voice.

I just saw Sierra Ferrell at the Sandy amp.
For the seats we had, $410 a ticket plus $131.20 service fee. $9.95 delivery.
Total for my wife and I, $1092.35

That’s like asking me if I want a new ski or if I want to go to a concert.

I saw Lollapalooza '91, aka the Jane's farewell tour, at SPAC. It was amazing.

[Ted Striker]

Same. And I left before JA's set ended. I'm in AD's camp, in that I don't hate them, but Farrell's singing is sooo out of tune - and not in a good way.

IMO, Lollapalooza '92 was better. RHP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. But that could be my west coast bias showing

I saw that tour in Denver.
12th row center.
It was awesome.
They had the sideways rocking lovechair; like on the cover of the Nothing's Shocking album.
With two smoking hot dancers in said lovechair.

The '92 Lollapalooza was awesome as well.

Ny favorite acts almost all play at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Ticket cost $0. Although I would have to pay for a room in SF and Amtrak + Bart. And I don't have it any more to deal with the hand to hand combat to get to our chairs near the front at the different stages. So I'll probably stick to the $30 house concerts in a friends big backyard. (Includes keg beer.)

Speaking of old acts--Stevie Wonder at the DNC tonight was as good as when I saw him at Cobo Hall in Detroit in the 70's.

I don’t remember seeing you there! That was a great show. Also saw Porno for Pyros sometime in the 90’s somewhere in NYC. Another great show. Then again I’ve loved Jane’s since my roommate got the album spring of 89. I taped it right before heading home from college for the summer. That tape stayed in my car cassette player the entire summer at full volume.

I have a confession.
I never really thought that Nirvana were all that.
Amusing?
