Does Mr B. McNeill need his ears syringed? On what planet would Brian Wilson's performance be regarded as faultless? >

Well okay Brians performance wasn't 'perfect' by any standards, the heart and emotion he poured into his performance far outranked anybody else on this bill. Obviously you are in need of a soul. It could have been worse it could have been mike love standing there.I just felt a lot of empathy and admiration that he had the guts to perform. And ray davies was ropey as fuck last night. I'm sick of him wearing that union jack jacket, and if i hear lola one more time I will fucking scream. (And I love the kinks! But there hasn't been an essentail kinks album since 'Muswell Hillbillies'.) But

how come Wilson got to come on and stagger through four pieces of well-worn Americana and Ray Davies gave one extremely respectable rendition of Lola, and disappeared?

I mean he is Brian Wilson for fucks sake DUH!!!! TLK ABOUT MISSING THE BIG PICTURE Sit down with a copy of 'Pet Sounds', 'Smile' (Bootleg) , 'Surf's Up', hell even 'Sunflower' or 'The Beach Boys Love You'. That will tell you all you need to know.(Brian is an amateur Human being but a GENIUS MUSICIAN) As for Macca he gave me the dry fucken boak, he was as exciting as a wet weekend in saltcoats. Apart from that I totally agree with ya about will young and his ilk. As for the Queen tribute, shite on a stick. When was Rick Witter employed for that musical. enough of such frivolity Brian _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
