So, I came into work yesteday and noticed a big tour bus parked out back. Now you have to realize that I work above a recording studio, so musicians come in and out all the time. But this was the biggest tour bus I've seen here yet. So we asked who it was.
April Wine!!!
(hee)
Yup, the grand daddy of Canadian dinosaur bands was here, performing for about 45 minites for a digital radio program. OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!. So I figured what the hell, good way to burn off an afternoon instead of working and I stayed for the the free little show. And be damned if they weren't half bad.About 80 people jammed the little recording studio, so it was pretty intimate and kinda cool. I don't really know much april Wine, kinda before my time, but of the stuff I head yesterday I thikn they are porbably much better live than they are in the studio. One of those good live acts. dude says they'e been around since '69 (yes,36 years ago) and are starting a new studio album, which will be studio album #18. Holy crap. Lotsa songs.
So Once the "concert" ended I trotted back upstaris and bumped into a co-worker. A buddy of his was in yesterday, and they mentioned that they were going to, (wait for it) WWE RAW!! . . . (hee). So we headed off to the big wrasslin' show. Now, I've never been a wrasslin fan at all, and never really had much interest in going, but figured what the hell, may as well, it's only 20 bucks.
LAME is not a big enough word to describe to you how dumb it was. Okay, I'll admit there were some entertaining parts, and the fans were getting into it, but there was only 4 matches inthe 2 hours we watched the show. FOUR. Seems like wrestling has slipped a lot since it became WWE. It was far from a sellout, and I really didn't know any of the wrestlers. Oh well, it was a night out. No Vince McMahon, and the "big guys" like Kane and Y2J didn't wrestle. weak.
Anyhoo, yeah, that was my evening. Classy. April wine and WWE. Where's my pickup?.
