(Chapman is the inventor; see for the official propaganda.) In the right hands, it can sound incredible. In the wrong hands.... To be fair, the drummer and the stickman weren't bad, as musicians. They were just playing music that was completely uninteresting and, unfortunately, too loud to be ignored, for far longer than any opening act has a right to play. They must be used to playing for audiences who are collectively consuming, um, interesting substances. (For that matter, they sounded like they themselves had been consuming interesting substances.) >BJ Don't Cry I don't recall the whole verse, but Mike managed to rhyme "folk band" and "Oakland". BJ was followed by an improvised bit based around a Beatles documentary the lads had seen earlier. I will never forget Jian, in his best Monty Python hysterical woman voice, shrieking "Someone's taken a bash at Stu!" (Which I, for much of the evening, mondegreened as "Someone's taken a bunch of stew!") >Horseshoes At this point someone, I think it was Jian, stated their main condition for returning to SF: the return of the TV show "Barbary Coast" with William Shatner. >Pisco Bandito (I love this song! I love this song!! I want to hear it >again! And again! And--*slap* Ow. Okay.) "Fish Will Ride!" >Greatest Man In America One of the lads -- was it Mike? -- made some comment about some audience members who were visibly enthusiastic during the part about "advocating vice". >Green Eggs and Ham (during the "not the Beatles": "We're in San Francisco! This was the one time when I really regretted the fact that the acoustics were quite sub-par: I know more-or-less how the lyrics go and I still couldn't understand more than one word in five. My poor companions, some of whom were fru-virgins and all of whom were live-fru-virgins, for the most part probably had no idea what was going on. >Love Potion #9 medley The last time I'd heard this was the last time I heard Moxy Fruvous live, which was at the 199*8* Philadelphia Folk Festival. I didn't know they were doing it in a hard rock version until last night. At this point, my only big regret for the night was that they hadn't done Psycho Killer... >Psycho Killer WOO HOO! >The Drinking Song A pox on the Slim's barman who chose the quietest moment of the song to begin loudly chatting with his co-worker... >many people knew their stuff, and that THEY'D BE COMING BACK!!!

It went way over my head until they explained it :) > > Ben I got it! It was hilarious! It's from a film called "The Birth Of the Beatles". Somebody at the show yellled out "Backbeat", Jian said that was wrong, and then I yelled out "Birth Of the Beatles!" but I don't think he heard me. There's another memorable line from the film that I considered yellin' out but didn't for lack of appropriate opportunity -- the Beatles have a little riff in the film, one says "where are we going fellows?" and the others reply "to the top", "what top?".. "to the toppermost of the poppermost" (or something like that). I really wanted to yell out "Where ya goin' Moxy?!" so they could reply "To the top!!"

It was directed by Tod Browning who also did Dracula (the 1931 Bela Lugosi version). Very disturbing when you realize these are mostly *not* actors, that's why it was so controversial at the time Browning made it. I used to show this film to people a lot - good choice! I might pick Eraserhead just to get their interpretations, that's always fun.
