So after the Google thing yesterday we started reminiscing about other funny English Beat adventures. Like the time they played an outdoor festival and the sun cast a shadow that caused the banner above the stage to read ”downtown ass”.
Coffee to help me stay awake through the show & ride home: $2
Ticket to the show itself: $10
Dave Wakeling giving a two-fingered salute to Margaret Thatcher from beyond the grave: priceless
(In all seriousness though, the concert was great, The Beat were great, they seemed happy to be there…
See, this is how horrible rumors begin.
That is a picture of the creepy perv who held those girls captive.
Not a photo of Dave Wakeling.
Fine work Google.
The English Beat in Detroit last night was just killer. The band seemed happy, enthused, and just ON. Heard many songs I hadn’t heard in quite a while. If they are coming to your town, I certainly suggest you go. A great night. Now, tonight, for something a little different, it’s Peter Murphy. Love it!!
