That’s when I’m leaving the country and I don’t plan on taking the books with me. I may have to cheat because I keep starting other books, plus I’m preparing for this upcoming trip.

I saw them at Randall’s Island with The Raveonettes, The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, etc. They were definitely not that impressive. The lead singer looked like he’d gained 30 pounds from the last time I saw him on TV and he just didn’t seem that into it. He had this smarmy, condescending attitude the entire time. They played pretty well, but no one was really into it, because the guy was being such a jackass.
