I thought he was great
It wasn't that he wasn't *talented*. He played lots of instruments superbly, and if I hadn't had to *look* at him cheesily mugging for the audience, it probably would have been OK. As it was, I just wanted to hurt him. With big hulk fists.

There's one in the US whose name I forget who has a beef about working mothers bringing down society, never mind the fact she's a working mother herself.
Caitlin Flanagan, maybe?
I don't read Garth George, Karl du Fresne and Chris Trotter and wonder where the rational male commentators are.

America is fucked.
I'll bring you back a 'Rand Paul for President' button in January, if you like. ;)
(Throughout the Bush II years I thought about wearing a 'Nixon: Now, More Than Ever' vintage button but never got around to buying one.)

Craig, he just *can't* get angry (or more to the point, be seen to be angry), ever.

made everyone feel good about how fucked up their political system is
I think that's the main weakness of his 'plague on both your houses' schtick, because it is abundantly clear that one house is much, much worse than the other.

I wish there was a PAS team designated for, say, 'people who generally enjoy watching Jackson's films but yes, we do understand how flawed they are, and yes, we get that they don't represent all of New Zealand, and no, we are not morons'. But it wouldn't fit on a tshirt.

Sort of "Your Latest Trick" meets "Baker Street", was it?
Hey, I *like* 'Baker Street'. No, it wasn't the notes so much as the gesturing, grimacing, and mugging to which I thoroughly objected. You know when a rockin' guitarist does solo-face? It was like that, but with a saxophone (and various other instruments).
Not this Chris Bell?
I could have told him that telling yourself you're the cosmos every night is not a cure for depression. But it is such a lovely album...
There's no sitting when it's as full as it was last night, but it's not bad.
If you get there early enough it is possible to sit reasonably comfortably up against the wall on the backs of the side-couches and still see the stage. (If, for example, one had issues with standing for any length of time because one was due to have a baby that very day.)

I just want Burton to stop using Danny Elfman for his soundtracks. Isn't there an Oingo Boingo reunion he could be undertaking or something?
-
yes, alright, the saxophone spoiled the party a little bit
I am not against saxophones, per se. But I am fully against that particular guy and his Giant Associated Sphere of Cheese. His obsession with 'soulfully' expressing his own awesomeness made me want very many bad things to happen to him.

Nobody's perfect, Craig.
(Sorry, sorry. It was just lying there, waiting for me to pick it up.)
