[kj] o.t. Peter Murphy live

[P Bernardi]

I just returned from seeing him in D.C. tonight. It was bad. Real bad. 
Unbelievably bad.

First off, muthafucker needs to shave his bald ass head.

Second, get rid of that awful mustache - he seriously looked like John 
Waters.

Third - I felt Murphy, as the years have gone by, has turned into the 
Neil Diamond of goth/alternative. But this time he has completely jumped 
that shark and should be doing Disney on Ice. His awful clothes, over 
singing like he's at a karoke and doing these posturings as if he's a 
stand in for sigfried and roy.

4th - his new band sucks. nothing exciting there

5th - Murphy attempted to play guitar tonight and he cant play. It was 
stiff, kept accidentally muting strings, just fucking ruined the songs.

6th - the new songs failed to spark any interest in purchasing the 
current album

7th - NO HOT CHIX ATTENDED THIS SHOW

8th - so many slow, monotonous songs thru the set. For fucks sake, play 
The Scarlet Thing in You or Low Room or Kill the Hate or  do a fucking 
Bauhaus cover.

9th - His opening act was crap also - some dumpy chix singing, reminded 
me of Evanescence or Sarah Mclachlin, which i detest both. She comes on 
stage on does a "duet" w/ Murphy for some song off of Cascade (cant 
recall the title but its a slow one at the end of the album). At no 
point in their performance were they in Harmony. Dreadful.

crap, im gonna stop - i gotta get some sleep, I could go on and on and 
on......

oh, and British Sea Power blew chunks last Thursday too. But I believe 
they were having major stage monitor problems and their sound guy did a 
bad job of mixing them.

rant over. nighty night.
