I have to go to dictionary.com to see the meaning of these words such as bilge, and travesty.<br />The rock musicians you mentioned in this post are the ones that my hubby listen to . But he is also open to other genres of music (classic, jazz, reggae, samba, hiphop, cathedral, pop, dance, Christian,, R&B, ballads, country, folk, etc.) since he is a learned classical pianist and finished a music degree minoring in jazz. So what I like (types of music), he can get along with it -----except rap which we both hate.<br />Hey, why don't you take a look at the photos I posted in my blog --where I posted photos for his album.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-87669216393966522532010-09-14T18:09:02.172+01:002010-09-14T18:09:02.172+01:00No comment!

Reason I remember it is I got caught in the middle of a mosh pit when Nirvana's 'Come As You Are' was playing. Knees have never been the same since. If I end up in a wheel chair I'll tell people I'm a rock'n'roll casualty from that raucous night.<br /><br />And you must surely remember the suave, debonair sophistication of 'Jakie's' with its upmarket combination of Hot Pot Supper and Exotic Artiste?Scars Beneath The Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866587497469760915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-30123163928455541692010-09-12T21:58:00.660+01:002010-09-12T21:58:00.660+01:00Hi Andy,

When I went to see "Ten" there were three other bands there too.<br /><br />You are right about the various tribes.

More of a second skin than a dress. Where is he now, I wonder? Hopefully still with something of the rebel in her.<br /><br />I too remember how easygoing the place was. Lots of different musical 'tribes' rubbing shoulders with very little sign of the aggro that you get in lots of nightclubs.<br /><br />Best gig I ever went to was there. American group called 'Freak Of Nature.' 3 other groups as well, all for £4.50. I was actually standing alongside the stage at one point, the same as being in the wings of a larger concert venue. They didn't have to overdrive the amps either, with the venue being so small, so the sound quality was fantastic.Scars Beneath The Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866587497469760915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-41521815596550196562010-09-12T11:04:55.080+01:002010-09-12T11:04:55.080+01:00Hi River,
