They did a cover of "If You Believe." Doesn't sound nearly as shitty as muthafuckin' Sasha! Suits him well bein' gagged an' tied up to a tree!

I'm so proud.

A full day and a half post-Comet awards I think I'm still dead. I blame it all on Adriano who suggested we go "where die beer is am Billy Stan" (our German has drastically improved over all the touring years in this godforsaken country of Bit and Pilsener). We ended up at die after show party wo die beer was free - gratis, not frei, that would have ( Read more... )

And what comes around goes around - HA!

Have you got any idea how hard it is to fake show off a Canuck accent while writing in English? Especially when you're GermanDon't worry I'll find a way. Now that I have all the Canadians added at least I can read other journals that can serve as exemplary sample. You don't mind if I copy your entries, eh? I promise to change names and places ( Read more... )

Yes, I decided to grace this place with my presence. I am Dick Brave.. yes, that one... you remember, eh? You remember the good ol' days when Dave O'Brien, Canada's number one late night talk host, used to say "Missing a Dick Brave show?! I rather would cancel my own wedding ( Read more... )
