Revenge
You know the bully? Sometimes it’s a thug, pushing you in the schoolyard, and sometimes a pinch faced balding pseudo-intellectual trying to make you look stupid in class. Or at work. They come in all shapes and sizes. They are self hating monsters that think they have to keep others in their place. I allowed one of those monsters to get under my skin once. Screwed me up for years. But I finally got my anger out by writing a song about it. And it really felt good.

Bloodstock Open Air Festival, Day 1, Part Two

Click Here for the First Part of the story from Day One! The rain had stopped for a while, so it was time for a wander around the arena and check out the stalls and amusements available. Plenty of food and drink stands, funfair, chill out/smoke tent (please take your shoes off), various stalls selling clothes, hats, flags, jewelry and, of course, beer! Thanks Doro! Hard’n'Heavy! |

Bloodstock Open Air Festival, Day 1, Part One
|
My first visit to Bloodstock Open Air Festival was a couple of years ago, and that was for only one evening as the band I was with had to head back to London for their headline gig the following day. I loved the vibe of the fest and really wished I could stay, so I was looking forward to a return trip. This time, hopefully, would not include crazy musicians or a van with a wonky clutch, and I would be able to stay longer than a few hours… |

Brook Lee Catastrophe at Fitzgerald's Pub

Well, look: a bar is always going to be a lousy place to see a band play live. Best-case scenario, the acoustics are merely fair, the mix is only adequate, at least a good third of the crowd are shouting their private conversations over the music, and the drinks are always (always) over-priced. Add in a row of pool tables at the back and even your loudest acts are going to be fighting a mean battle with an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio.

The Performer is a Super Lemming
Performers are insane. It takes a madman to want to stand up in front of people and somehow find a sense of self-worth from doing that. The performer is as insane as the audience drives them. They are as insane as the media wants to make them. We, the audience, are lemmings, making super lemmings out of performers. We equip them with our own self destruction, and then we drive them off the cliff so we don’t have to jump ourselves.
