And now for something completely different...
Since I've been posting an uncharacteristically good bit recently, why not post something that's not a geek-related rant and might even interest and amuse other persons aside from myself? Why do I ask rhetorical questions? Did I post a rhetorical-question-related comic this week on http://www.sugarthecat.com?
The original purpose of this post wasn't a plug, so here's the actual link belw to Iggy Pop's backstage requirements when he gives a concert:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstaget
A few choice tidbits from their requirements I liked especially:
"1 X 13inch and 1 x 14inch TOM-TOM, WITH MOUNTING. And if you can't bring the mounting to us, we'll have to send a bloke called Mohammed to the mounting. A stand mount would be fine, or a bass drum mount. Herre endeth the sermon on the mount."
"2 X HEAVY DUTY FLOOR MOUNTED FANS. So that I can wear a scarf and pretend to be in a Bon Jovi video"
"Mix 1 - front vocal wedges. IGGY'S VOCAL ONLY. Wedges must be bi-amp, powerful, very loud, uncompressed and unlimited. Also, can we arrange to have them off the front of the stage inside the barrier [there is a barrier, isn't there?] -on flightcases, possibly? This will make me very happy, like a happy little bunny rabbit."
Need I quote more? There are 18 pages of this.
