[net.music] Simple Minds Sparkle in the Rain Tour

I saw the Simple Minds last night at Boston's Orpheum, after having seen
them last year.  All fans of the Simple Minds beware - this is not the
same band you've seen in the past.  This was one of the lousiest concerts
I've ever attended.  The melodies were undistinguishable, the band looked
foolish, and Kerr's antics were ridiculous (maybe he thinks he's
Tom Jones now).  Another band down the tubes!

P.S.  The band's "prop" (used in one song) reminded me of
      Stonehenge in "Spinal Tap".
