Concert Notes
To clarify my notes from Wednesday's Garbage concert:
Shirley: "I'm a high-maintenance woman!" (she says, after getting eyeliner in her eyes from all the sweat -- a good 80-85 and humid inside the venue)
she sang "happy birthday, dear whoever you are" to a guy in the audience holding an "it's my birthday" sign
also told the story of a young gay couple (in Columbus) who told them before the show that they lost their virginity to "Cherry Lips"
She admitted "We made a weird-ass record this time!"
Later, read another audience sign to her band-mate: "Duke, some boy says he wants your big hard Garbage cock!"
She went from Parade into an impromptu Missy Elliot "Get Your Freak On" ...
They ended the show with "Only Happy When it Rains" (which was perfect since there was a tornado watch that day)
And, at the encore, she announced that nobody had told her she'd been prancing around stage with a rip in her pants.
Such a great show... if you get a chance, go see them. And please, if at all possible, skip TicketNazi.
