    Foo Fighters do Van Halen

    The Foo Fighters did a decent cover of ATBL at the Firefly Music Festival last night to over 60 000.

    It's beyond slow.

    There are bands with far fewer sales than Van Halen whose members are all dead that are less slow.

    We used to have Dave solo constantly working plus throwing shit at Van Hagar now all we have this to talk about.

    And God, and global warming. Oh, and guns. Although I am interested in learning more about knife crime in the UK. You never did tell me if you've reverted to swords or if we're just talking like Rambo knives or what. Knives are gay but swords? Now that there is a manly weapon!

    I was laughing with a pal about your knife crime query a couple of nights ago.

    It reminded of a story Penn from Penn and Teller told. He was saying how the absolute best close up magicians have usually spent a lot of time in jail.

    He told the story of a guy who he was friends with who was shit hot because he had done 15 years inside for murder and had been a gangster type.

    The guy said to him 'If you ever get offered the choice between being stabbed or shot always choose being shot.'
    Penn replied 'There are situations where you get that as a choice?'.
    Guy replied 'Oh yeah absolutely and showed him various scars/bullet holes.'

    Dam thought we were gonna get a magic story love them , a good friend of mine is a semi Pro magician in the magic circle etc but because he is successful business man doesn't do it as much now .
    Any hoo he is the absolutely greatest man on the pull ever , obviously tricks are a great opening line .
    But in a club it's to noisy to pull some of his best stuff so one time he walked up to a girl and made her a balloon dog . He used make balloon animals ,bunches of flowers all sort .
    Man how can you compete with that .
    fuck your fucking framing

    Hopefully the band themselves recorded this and they'll release it as a B-side, like they have some of their other covers.

    I could see how that would work.

    Way back when I had a drummer who was in the Magic Circle who taught me a few good card tricks.

    I would do them for beers, you could get pretty pissed just looking for couples that were a bit bored with each other and going over to their table and entertaining them for 10 minutes ending on a bet for a beer.

    Like many things in life it's all about confidence, I'm not sure I would have the sheer brass neck to do it nowadays.

    Kurt was a decent musician but he was constantly depressed and wrote depressing music. He had an obvious obsession with guns too. I don't like Nirvana's music but I don't hate it either. I don't change the radio station everytime a Nirvana song comes on but I do if it's U2. I think they're one of the most overated bands out there. The Foo Fighters aren't too bad but I prefer their cover tunes over their original material in most cases. They kicked ass at the Led Zep Kennedy honors presentation. I wonder who Letterman blew to get to sit next to them. Can't stand that guy. He's almost as irritating as Howard Stern. And Letterman's sidekick Paul Shaffer is almost as big of an ass kisser as Stern's butt smoochers.
