I've always made it a rule to never drink at concerts, myself.

When I was still in high school I went to see Depeche Mode and a girl behind me threw up all over my back just as the concert was starting. I was so ticked!! A friend of mine who was at the same concert was so drunk she didn't even know who was on stage. And Depeche Mode was her favorite band!

I thought, what a waste!! Why pay all that money to see a band you love, only to be too drunk to appreciate it?

I decided right there and then that I would never drink during concerts. It's served me well, although I'm always the Designated Driver and I get to deal with the after-show traffic jams. It's worth it...

(Also, no hangover the next day!)

He changed "Shoplifters of the World" to "Trumpshifters of the World."

He took the photo of himself with the baby on the cover of "Years of Refusal" and put Trump's head on the baby.

He did "Glamorous Glue" which he hasn't done since the early 90s.

He changed the line "We won't vote Conservative" to "We won't vote Republican."

I have been desperately in love with that man since I was 15.



I think I would faint if I got a hug. It would last me the rest of my life.....

I've seen him live seven times, but I've actually purchased tickets for probably a dozen shows. The man does love to cancel.

He wouldn't play in Paso Robles the other night because it was too cold and his stage heater was broken. But I still love the delicate bastard.

I've had him cancel on me once.

Like you said, I love him anyway.

You take the bad with the good, I guess.
