Eclectic Reflections

So they, Primus, may be supposedly tired of their fans yelling “Primus sucks!”, but the fans aren’t — well the ones at the show Tue 5-Dec-2006 at San Jose Civic Auditorium weren’t.

In fact, during several extended low-key “mumbling” jam sections, a few in the audience got way ticked off and were yelling more than “sucks” and demanding that they “play f**king primus music, you f**king pussies!!!”.

I thought the show was great, and I had a blast introducing one of my sons to the fine art of survival and entertainment in the mosh pit. I returned to the IIW2006b conference the next day with a big grin and no visible bruises. John Kemp commented that “you like to live dangerously don’t you?” in his inimitable British way.

I really liked the opening act, Gogol Bordello — I’d not heard of them before. They put on a fairly wild show. Likely even more so if they were headlining. My comment after their set was “that was a very Primus opening act”.

Ok, Eve, here u go…

• I’m actually a really laid-back, low-key, relaxed, even lazy, kind of guy.
• I’m so old, I had a pet dinosaur when I was a kid.
• And I invented chocolate milk, ice cream, and television. That’s why I can say with authority: “no, you can’t have any more.”
• I can’t stand children.
• I hate to exercise, I can’t stand to be outdoors, detest high places, open water gives me the willies, and I prefer to go slow.

Like John, I dunno five others who haven’t already been tagged. But Cat hasn’t been tagged, neither has Leslie, nor PeterD it turns out….
