Really-From: wicinski@nrl-tjw.arpa (Tim Wicinski) but just some blantant attacks on people's pysche's... I don't see why your so upset ms. turner cause some people seemed to be enjoying themselmves at the throwing muses show. just be lucky you could stand close to the stage and watch them. what will you say when they become wavo polular and you have to pay 14.00 to see them in a place where you HAVE to sit down in a little chair and not move (i.e., the husker du syndrome). Iggy Pop, the Bayou Iggy's been opening for the Chrissie Hynde road show, but he played this fairly small club(200 people or so) on a week's notice. Even though you had to pay almost 15.00, this was a hot show. The crowd was s cross between haircuts and leather jackets (the Bayou is a kick ass rock and roll club). last christmas when I was in new hamspter, I saw Iggy on MTV, and talk about looking like a weak dude. pretty wimpy I thought then, and was expecting the same. no way, this guy was into it for this show. He's not wimping out with age, just ripping up places. Still the same, somewhat thinner, more healthy than before though he does look like an AIDS outpatient. his back up band is old, not sure who they were, but one guy kinda looked like Fred Williamson. hard to say. By the end of the show, when he started cranking thru stuff like "Search and Destroy" and "TV Eye" he was lying on the stage, or singing from the middle of the audience, where these totally intense females were copping feels like mad, and like the man, Igg took it all in stride. The only odd part was these dick bouncers who were positioning themselves in the middle of the crowd to make sure no one had too good a time, which gave everyone an excuse to flail more wildly. no matter, he probably won't do too many club shows for awhile being on the road and all, but you know what you have to do when he does though.
