(TV) My ears! My ears!

["Emilie Hsu" <ehsu@mindspring.com>]

My ears are still ringing from last night, I think I lost part of my
hearing, but boys! was it worth it!

It was as Philip said a great show.  Dave Thomas started the show by saying
that he was wearing his "Tom Verlaine suit."  Hilarious.

I thought everyone played really well, really really loud!  Though, I have
to disagree with Philip on one point, the stuff that Richard played, he
could have played that in his sleep -- and I mean it in the very best way --
I think when Richard plays for himself or with the Television, he is really
challenged to play some really strange stuff.  Richard hardly broke a sweat
while Cheetah Chrome looked like he just ran the marathon in 120 degree
weather.

I thought the band that opened for them, the Blonds, were pretty good too
(and very loud!).

My ears!  My ears!  :-)
