"I've got a great idea" says Mrs.Boon," after you have finished cricket next week,we can get tickets and take all the kids (2 junior Boons,10 and 6,niece 9 and little Mr.Boon's mate 11) to that Coca-Cola Live show,you know,The Veronicas,Evermore,After the Fall!"
"Yeah,great idea babe"
So,off to cricket,win outright at 6:20 at night,quick shower at club,back to pub for a quick schnitzel,(salad,no chips) a few Pure Blondes and to the Enter centre we go.THE BAR IS CLOSED!! WHAT THE F@@@! I know this is an all ages show,but the Veronicas interviwed End of Fashion,asking questions like "Pissed or Stoned?" and (no lie) "Spit or swallow?",now,my kids have seen Dad with a few lagers in him before,no surprise there,and if they can air the above questions on the big screen,surely I can get a beer,and for that matter,every one else with some legitimate ID.Now many will say this is all ages,yep it was,so tell End of Fashion,The Veronicas and Evermore, that the "F" word on the microphone is not ideal at all ages shows.Not happy,and I dont mean just about being there.
All in all,The Hot lies were poor,After the Fall tight but not my kind of music,End of Fashion "Oh YEAH" ,oh NO!
To wrap it all up,THe Veronicas do a cover of "Its a Long way too the top" (AC/DC),now,FFS girils,you arent old enough to go to a pub,let alone play in one,and Im sure,Oh so sure you have never,never had it tough.
"Look out,its rough and mean,it a long way to the top,when yo uwant to rock and roll,
If you think its easy doin one night stands,try playin in a rock'n'roll band...."
How about you have a go first you spoilt little upstarts.
Mrs.Boon,a good idea? I think not.
Rant over.
