You haven't seen Shriekback live? You surprise me. For some reason I thought you had and that's where you met Barry. What strange fantasies my brain comes up with sometimes.

Nah nah, I met Barry online by accident, then met him IRL in 2006. I never got to see or hear the band live.

I do hate to get picky but Justin Beiber is not a band. I know you hate him like nose hair but still - not a band. He is just one boy. And I'm protective cause he lives just up the highway from me when he's home. And I think he's a good boy. A good heart. Why not go with a band like Metallica or Kiss? They are very bad bands.

I actually like Metallica and Kiss, hahaha! I know he's not a band, but it still irks me that he gets all this press when more deserving artists are ignored. And he's not even cute. Sorry, I'm usually all about Canada, but not when it comes to him.

I agree with what you said about Beiber. He's a nice kid. Metallica is one of the standard bearers of their genre. Did you say something about KISS? ;)

[paisley-daze.livejournal.com]

The comment about Metallica and Kiss was mostly tongue in cheek. Their followers are legion and legend (including my son) - who am I to argue? Peace.

:) Peace Love and Rock & Roll! :)
