The October 20th Fishbone show at the Rhino room rocked. The lineup wasn't
as long as I would have liked, because they got a little bit of a late
start, but it went: Swim, Bonin', Pressure, Skankin', Pants (new song),
Housework, When Problems arise, Behavior, Beergut, Give it up, Just Allow
(sure to be a hit), Ma+Pa, Lyin' Ass Bitch, Kept Startin', Cholly, and
they had to cut it off after Lemon Meringue. I got the set list from
Angelo, and it looked like they were going to play Freddy's dead, Sunless
Saturday, One Plain Nutt, Alcoholic, Party, Deep Inside, Sub. Fascism, and
Monkey Dick (which I would have loved to hear live). It was an intimate
setting. There were only about 75-100 people there. But I'm not
complaining. I got to stand right in the front, and sing into the mic on
almost every song. The evening had some really funny moments. This
belligerently drunk girl who couldn;t have been a day older than 16 went
up on stage, and swore she knew the words for Lying Ass Bitch. So they
started the song (the horns rip on this one live), and when it came time
for her to sing, she had no clue as to the words. Then Angelo took the mic
back, and said "Come on now, honey, get down, we gotta do this shit for
real now", but she stayed up there the whole song anyway, and kept trying
to get the mic from Angelo and Norwood. At the break of the song Angelo
said "This song dedicated to YOU because you LIED", and the whole place
bust up laughing. Then he said "You no good lying, no lyrics knowing, tube
top wearing, ho-bag trashy looking, BIAATCH!!" It was the funniest thing
ever....that is, until Norwood urinated on the stage. It was in the middle
of Cholly.... I noticed a liquid stream started down his leg out of the
towel, and he had the funniest smile on his face. Then he said "Sorry
ya'll, didn;t have a diaper tonight". It was an awesome show, and
definitely worht the drive up from San Diego. I can't wait to hear them
here downtown at Papa Jack's on the 30th.

Peace in the Middle East, ya'll,
