QuoteThis is gonna be awesome. I hear he's gonna pick good ole boy Ted Nugent for VP. Naw. Nugent and Rock are Career Musicians. There's an unrecorded homeless lunatic living in a cardboard box behind the local Walmart who's usually banging away on a coffee can. It's almost musical. He's a real straight shooter and isn't afraid to speak his mind. We justby HollowbodyKay
Time is cruel. All the recent audio/video evidence I've heard/seen leads me to conclude that Ian McCulloch's once-lovely voice has been reduced to a hoarse croak. In addition to not wanting to witness that sad reality in person, there are two other factors that will prevent me from conjuring up any enthusiasm for seeing an Echo & The Bunnymen show any time in *this* life: 1.)
