To confess here, The first album I ever bought was Destroyer. I couldn't understand why my parents would let me see them on tour in '77 (I was six years old). A couple of weeks ago I was in Memphis, and after a day of touring Graceland, Sun Studios, etc, I was bumming around downtown when I ran into a bunch of scalpers. Unbeknownst to me Kiss was in town. Me and my pals got tickets for $10. Scoff all you want, but it really took me back to that time when I thought shooting fireworks out of a guitar and spitting up blood were really cool (of course that was also the time when I was eating paste and wearing Keds). On the whole, I'd rather see Kiss and laugh than see the Pistols and cry. It wasn't even the best worst show I've seen. A couple of years ago, for the royal price of $4, I caught the triple threat bill of Bachman Turner Overdrive, Cheap Trick, and REO Speedwagon. I've never seen so much hilariously shitty music. (apologies to those with otherwise good taste who for some reason like Cheap Trick) The word "rock" was used in stage banter as an adjective, noun, verb, adverb, and conjunction over the course of the night. - -chad ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #62 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
