cowbellz's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i hope i'm still rockin' at 44 robert pollard amazes me. stefan and i went to see guided by voices again last night and he was at least 4 times more drunk than he was when we saw him in october. he started out by saying, "we're kind of drunk and we've got 57 songs to play for you tonight." a bottle of jack and many 12-packs later, he could barely stand but still remembered every word to every song. who knows all the words to 57 songs when they're wasted? the bassist and rhythm guitarist were equally trashed but were playing amazingly, with lots of rock star windmill action to go along with robert pollard's karate kicks and fist throwing. at one point pollard said, "i'm 44 fucking years old. i do this every night. can you HANG?" then he downed another beer and said "until they put me in a fucking hole in the ground, i'll be up here rocking." genius. go see them if you ever get the chance. 9:16 am - 18 july 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
