This Is The Most Public of My Many Humiliations
Saturday, October 16, 2004
The doors opened an hour ago. There still is no action the stage. I'm
having serious problems with my ADHD today. I cant seem to sit still. I hate waiting, and need PJ Harvey on stage now.
Ok now some old guy is on stage jamming out on a acoustic guitar. What
a guy. The song is decent. But I didn't come to hear this.
This place is freezin. My hands feel like ice blocks on the end of
popsicle sticks that anorexic girls eat to suppress their appetite.
The guys name on stage is Morris. I think he is making up his songs as
he goes along. Actually I am now sure he makes them up as he goes
along.
Its now 8 pm. The sound guys are doing their thing. I am positioned
at the front of the stage semi-patiently waiting the arrival of the one
pj Harvey.

finally I see her. She is beautiful much better looking in person then
any picture I have ever seen.
She has 2 drummers Gloria estefan style.
Fucking awesome. She busted a string on her guitar but didn't miss a
beat.
She flows seamlessly through songs. Making this experience feel like
one really great long song.
Then suddenly the band leaves stage. I thought the show was over. I
almost died.
Big fish little fish bring back my pj Harvey.
Of course she came back on and blasted out
some more classic but fucking great songs that this
mistress of music has written.
Is this desire, what a great song for an encore. Its almost 10 pm I m
tired and my back is killin me. Time to head back to Oakchill and see
what trouble awaits me there.
