One of the weirdest, most fun shows we ever saw was the Hidden Cameras with the Toronto Dance Theatre at the Winchester Street Theatre. The show ended with the band dancing and the dancers playing the instruments.

I couldn't agree more. The amount of money you can make and still collect OAS is absurd.

Similar experience: John Otway at the Rivoli in Toronto. There was a guy in the crowd with an oxygen tank. I doubt there was anyone there under 40, but it was a blast.
FWIW, saw Killing Joke at Larry's Hideaway, a long-gone dump in Toronto. The show was released on a 10" record. Great live band.

Guilty. Fortunately, the one time I did this at a Toronto Records on Wheels store, the clerk managed to identify Joan Osborne's "One of Us" before I croaked out half a line.

Darnielle's book in the 33 1/3 series about Black Sabbath's Master of Reality is a great read.

Cut a plug out of a whole watermelon, drain it, then refill the juice with tequila. Put the plug back in and let it sit for an hour. Butcher and eat.
