the best show I have ever seen in my life—which totally slams any pretense I had to musical integrity, so three “farmboys” that played hard and fast, waiting for their lead singer, he comes to the stage wasted in an eighties straight-boy outfit, swaying, he proceeds to jump off the stage into a trashcan and the show descends from there into total debasement, he divebombs all of the trash cans—rolls around in them—bumps into audience members—humps trashcans—rolls on the ground, non-stop awesome rock-and-roll entertainment, the crowd is disgusted but entranced, keep waiting for him to just collapse but he really never loses the song except for when he loses the microphone—delicious to think of the band’s fury, his back is bleeding by the end from the broken beer bottles all over the ground, disappointing denouement though was him back in the crowd after the show in shorts and t-shirt and appearing sober—so perhaps it was all just a show
