So Mr. Ian yaya! Shotgun! Astbury, is now a dead popstar. I thought this was a one off thing a year or so ago.....what a tit.

For those not in the know; Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger are touring 
as the doors w/ Ian Astbury of the Cult on Vox. They played in D.C. last 
night and a friend had an extra ticket.

Astbury's hair, clothes and mannerisms were manufactured to imitate 
Morrison and I thought that it came off being cheesy. But everyone else 
in the crowd seemed to love it. (Before the show starts Astbury 
announces its good to be in the city of the founding fathers - but I was 
like "ummmmm, I think that was philly).

After a couple of songs, ( roadhouse blues, Break on through, a really 
long ass version of When the Musics over ) - Manzerek introduces the 
band and then took some subtle digs at ex drummer John Densmore.

Some of the song selections were questionable - I wouldve preferred to 
hear People are Strange or Unknown Soldier instead of Love me Two Times 
or Back door Man.

The best was at the end when they played Touch Me, followed by L.A. 
Woman and for the encore Light My Fire. Im not a major fan of Light my 
Fire but Krieger did play an impressive solo for that song which 
included the melody to "A few of my favorite things".

Tonight the NY Dolls are playing but Im skipping them having already 
seen Slyvain Slyvain solo twice.
