We need a new Pink Floyd. Waters is too much of an asshole and they're all too old.
Perhaps if someone got Franz Ferdinand loaded on enough acid to kill a bull elephant we would have something going.
I still am. I thought you all knew that. I work the Nassau Collisium and Jones Beach for instance. Im not really a roadie but a stage hand. The big bands have a travelling crew but each venue has its own crew that knows the building. Mostly their the bosses and were the workers. We unload the trucks and set up all the equipment. They just tell us where to put it. When its all over we take it all down and put it back on the trucks, off to the next show for them and we wait for the next show to come here. One of the first bands I worked for was Ten Years After with Alvin Lee. A Hreat guitarist you dont here much about anymore. I also worked with Chicago. Mariah Carey of courseGawain you were a roadie? Teach me, oh wise one..and the Moody Blues to name a few. Hey did I tell you I saw the Beatles at Shea

I think it's only fair that you regale us with tales of rock shows past. And don't spare the dirt!![]()
